Don’t eat coyote feces or dead rodents and I like your chances of surviving.

"The worms can be passed on to people on fruit, by handling contaminated soil or through an infected dog's fur, which can be contaminated with worm eggs too small to see."

Guess us city folk are doomed. They only thing we can do is "shoot" off our mouths. Maybe we can just damn it to death. I'll start..... Damn you coyotes, damn you all to H. E. Double Hockey Sticks
