Why are people.
DON'T KISS RACCOONS.
Because if you do, that raccoon is gonna need to be tested for rabies.
That means that raccoon is going to die. Hope it was worth the smooch on its furry head! No? Yeah.

@beebrookshire I thought "euthanized and then tested for rabies" was a misprint until I read further in the article. Wow. So, this probably means just don't bring the raccoon to the nail salon at all?!
@nilesjohnson Yeah, nope. There's no non-lethal test for rabies.
So no don't bring your raccoon to the salon.
ALSO DON'T HAVE A RACCOON AS A PET
The raccoons in my neighborhood are friendly and fearless (if there aren't dogs around) when they come to your back door. It's pretty clear that some of my neighbors are feeding them. i really hate having to chase them off but it's best for them if I do.
