might want to add Echinococcus especially handling red foxes

Thanks for the card, fantastic idea!

Just right click and 'save as' and print it? It seems a bit on the small side?

Cool card, never had though about getting something from a wild animal. Thanks for the card.

Good Idea, the dad of one of my coworkers died from plague a few years ago. He had been hunting with his son when he cut his finger while skinning a rabbit. He got sick the next day and they came down the mountain. He was very sick by the time they got to the hospital. It took 3 days for the doctors to find out it was plague. The treatment was too late and he died. A card like this would've helped. His son didn't make the connection to the illness and the rabbit till days later, cause we just don't think about plague anymore in these modern times. The doctors said he would have been fine if they had known sooner!

How do you print it out "card" size? Mine come out full page. me puter stoopid.

Go to your Properties in the printer & select the scale to print.

You can reduce the picture size by increasing the scale size.

Hopefully it'll work the same for you as it does for me.

Sheep are the #1 U.S. domestic carriers of anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) spores. Thus, anthrax has rightfully earned its secondary name of "Wool-Sorter's Disease," which is the pulmonary form of anthrax. Most cases of anthrax are of the non-lethal, cutaneous variety which cause black dermal lesions. The pulmonary (Wool-sorter's) form of anthrax is the true killer, but it is a disease difficult to contract as is demonstrated by the difficulty in "weaponizing" the spores for bioterror and military purposes. Wool-sorters are only at greater risk because of the spore load (spore quantity) to which they are exposed. The probability of contracting pulmonary anthrax on a hunting venture is VERY, VERY low. As mentioned above, plague (Yersinia pestis) is a greater danger in that the probabilty of contracting it is higher than anthrax. Prairie dogs are the hunting risk associated with plague, so just shoot 'em, don't handle 'em!

If I were to choose the most significant threats to hunters from the list on the card, I'd say:
a) Rabies
b) Lyme disease
c) Rocky Mtn Spotted Fever
d) Tularemia
e) Plague
f) West Nile Virus (not on the card)

I promise there are several folks on this board with undiagnosed cases of Giardiasis, Ascariasis, and Cryptosporidiosis. These are not life-threatening, but very prevalent.

thanks

Do your coyotes n wolves in the US have Hydatids.
Aussie dingos are full of it - each n every one of them. There's no vaccine either. It is the nastiest, slow acting killer you'll ever see!

Yup, this card is a good idea ! especialy for some of us who's a ways from any sort of town let alone a Hospital.
Thanks Rockinbbar

Great idea! gonna print out a few also. Thanks!

thats a good idea we'll print it out and stick it in the old wallet

Yeah i dont think ill get any of that cause im having trouble killing things lol

A guy in a neighboring town got the plague last fall after cutting his finger while skinning a coyote. Luckily they caught it and he didn't die. This card is a good idea.

Thanks this is a great idea! never thought about all that before i saw this post.
