[post_page_title]Hedgehog [/post_page_title]
For some reason, the fact that hedgehogs pose a serious threat to the health of humans hasn’t stopped us from keeping them as pets. Same goes for cats, but we can discuss that one later. The quills of a hedgehog can easily penetrate the skin’s surface, and in doing so, inject us with a bacteria that leads to a flu-like illness. Symptoms include fever, stomach pain, and rash. Hedgehogs probably won’t prick you unless they feel threatened, but keep in mind, they’re like miniature porcupines with the skills of a silent ninja if need be.
