With the popularity of "Nezha: The Devil Boy in the Sea", the group of cute groundhogs in the movie also became popular.Many netizens have posted videos and pictures of their close encounters with prairie dogs.In the movie, Nezha fights against the groundhog and even says "I've got you here" that many people are familiar with.However, if you encounter a prairie dog in a real-life group, you must keep away from it, do not observe it at close range, and do not touch it with your hands.
The reason for this is the frightening "plague".
Marmot is generally the common name for prairie dogs and marmots. There are four kinds of marmots in my country. Among them, the Himalayan marmot is the most widely distributed and numerous, and is very common in popular tourist attractions.
Himalayan marmots are one of the main natural hosts of Yersinia pestis, and herders are afraid to avoid them.Because plague is a Class A infectious disease, it is highly contagious and has a high fatality rate. It is easily spread through fleas and droplets.
Close contact and feeding, in addition to the spread of zoonotic diseases, also cause other problems, such as bite injuries.
Although marmots are relatively mild-mannered, they will bite when provoked and frightened. Marmots are rodents, and their incisors will grow throughout their lives and mesh up and down.This structure that can grind against each other at any time can keep the marmot's incisors sharp. Once bitten, the wound will be bloody and bloody., and may be accompanied by the risk of infection.
