With regard to tularemia. For those who hunt predators, particularly predators that (can) prey on rodents (as most do), bears, foxes, coyotes, lynx/bobcat, etc., those predators are potential for contracting tularemia.

Being a mechanic, I may be more conscience of this than many due to the frequency which I may have cuts, etc. on my hands. To avoid contracting disease/parasites and the like, I wear latex or rubber gloves when dressing out these animals to reduce exposure.
