True story, and it was a bitch to get rid of. Couldn't figure out what it was, until I took the dogs to the vet and he wanted to know which dog had it. None, as it turns out, just me. Properly treated it went away, but now I'm <span style="font-weight: bold">real</span> careful around dead chucks/rats etc.
I still cringe every time I see a pic of someone holding one.

FWIW, I don't think shooting them is legal in Washington. If they are Belden's Ground Squirrels, they're protected. Which is stupid, since we go to Oregon and murder thousands of them. (Two weeks! Can't wait!)
