Reply to comment by kurrpy in TIL that tularemia is an infectious disease that can be contracted by “inhaling particles from an infected rabbit ground up [by] a lawnmower”. by krisalyssa

I don’t. We were watching an episode of Alone, where one of the contestants caught a porcupine but discovered upon cleaning it that it was infected with tularemia. I was curious if the meat would be safe if properly cooked, so I looked it up.

And that, kids, is how I met the phrase “the only place in the world where documented cases of tularemia resulted from lawn mowing”.
