20% is not a small number. Also it’s wrong to claim you can only get it from eating their liver or kidneys raw when you can catch it from direct contact alone.
Regardless of if it is treatable or not it’s irresponsible to make claims that are factually wrong with something that can cause debilitating nerve damage before you even know what it is.
20% isn’t the number i saw, it was 16%, and that is a small portion; it means if you encounter an armadillo there’s an 84% chance it doesn’t have it. combine that with 95% immunity and the debateable chance of contraction by simple touch when most sources say you need prolonged exposure to contract it even if you are one of the 5% vulnerable, and the long standing stigma and mistreatment against these creatures for it, and that just because i can’t find the exact thing i’m referencing doesn’t mean i’m factually wrong when a quick perusal of the shitty search results shows many sources disagreeing with each other on number infected as well as can touch transmit it, nah, i’m not being irresponsible saying you can pet the armadillos.
also your source proving me wrong is a single line in a florida source saying ‘there are reports you can get it with touch’. lmfao.
