Do opossums carry diseases?



Opossums and Diseases: The Real Deal Opossums might not be as disease-prone as you think. Here's the scoop on their health status.

Low Risk: Opossums have a lower body temperature than most mammals, making them less susceptible to many diseases that affect other animals.

Clean-Up Crew: Opossums eat insects, including disease-carrying ones like ticks and cockroaches, which can actually help reduce disease transmission.

Fun Fact: Opossums have a unique defense mechanism – they can emit a foul-smelling fluid when threatened.

Opossum Seasons: Opossums are active year-round, but their nocturnal habits keep them mostly hidden from view.
