Just got done skinning a coon and while making a cut across the neck the hide pulled/jerked from being under tension from the skinning machine and I felt a light "spritz" hit my face and on my lips and maybe in my mouth. Didn't see any blood spec on me, could have been liquid fat or whatever. I rinsed real good with water then mouth wash. Again just a light mist if you will, But I felt it. Should I be worried ? The coon had been dead and hanging for 12 hours. -Thanks

I think you've got a better chance of walking out in the street and getting hit by a bus then having an issue but there's always a chance. I think I'd sleep just fine.

Personally I wouldn't worry about it if the animal appeared healthy prior to it's unfortunate death.

No worries, It's happened to me plenty and look how normal I am. grin


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I wouldn’t worry unless you have a sudden urge to go through the neighbors garbage cans, start hanging out with a moose, or want to change your “handle” to Rocky.

Take a big slug of shine.Every trapper should keep a jug of shine in the skinning room for just such emergencies.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I would dive into a pool filled with bleach! Not really, you will be fine!

It’s happened to me more times than I care to remember, blood, eye juice, general body fluids lol. Stress from worrying about it is probably more likely to kill you than a little coon juice.

Ask Alaskan about what flew into his mouth when skinning a green-belly wolf quite a few years ago.

The good news is, you are about to have a disease named after you.


Seriously though, if Spiderman got bit by a spider, and Batman became Batman because of bats....all I am saying is you might develop some cool superpowers, however it's unfortunate that the handle "coonman" is already taken here on tman.

Open all your coon lures and baits, start smelling them one by one in front of a mirror, should tell you something....Sometimes my dog eats something bad, she licks her backside to get the taste out of her mouth.


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Was skinning a coon with a big abscess on its neck that I didn't know was there. The machine was pulling it, dang if I didn't have my mouth hanging open at that moment. Yep, coon puss all over my face, in my mouth, on me everywhere! Stuff happens! It wasn't in my mouth long enough to taste, but I don't remember it tasting good! lol

You win Lee LMAO. That may be about as nasty as anything I heard of. Been peed on pulling a hide a few times but that almost made me sick reading it
