有一种病叫“兔子热”(tularemia, aka rabbit fever)

野兔在我家附近活动大概七八年了。原来只吃草,从去年开始不知发生了什么,开始啃咬我种的几乎所有东西,其中有些在网上属于兔子不爱吃的,例如玫瑰、香椿树小树树皮、康乃馨、令箭荷花。

被兔子咬过的植物小部分能恢复生机,但大部分生病或死亡。我上网查了一下,兔子啃咬后植物会出现stress,伤口会感染细菌,导致植物死亡。更可怕的是,会增加人类感染“兔子热”的风险。

英文这样说:Important Note: Rabbit damage can also increase the risk of humans contracting tularemia (rabbit fever), a bacterial disease that can spread through contact with infected animals or contaminated materials. 

Tularemia symptoms vary depending on how you're infected, but common signs include fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, and in some cases, skin ulcers or pneumonia.
