First I've heard of it but it has crossed my mind while crawling through ivy thickets in the dark. I would say you would have your hands full like never before!

I always wondered if a bear or deer could contract rabies if they were to get bit by a rabid coon at a bait pile or anywhere else for that matter. I guess the answer is yes.
