I wouldn't touch the disease ridden, $hit piles when they are dead let alone alive, one ever bites you, you might just as well put the gun to your head, be quicker than a lingering death, from the $hit those disease ridden vermin carry!!!
Well, I was bitten, most of the tip of one thumb and nail off many years ago. Had to run rabies shots just in case, as after the fact I managed to shoot that one in the head with my 44, after he bit me while we were trying to tie him up.
I never got any kind of disease, certainly not one bad enough to be foul mouthed either. Although I can see folks getting a disease enough to be foul mouthed and just slobber on.
