It’s nuts.
The first thing he made clear was that rock squirrels earned their “most dangerous animal” title through quantity, not quality, of bites. Injurious interactions with squirrels occur with “exponentially higher frequency than injuries from any other animals” in the park; even so, he said, on a typical weekend his clinic only sees two to three bites per day. Park rangers may treat more in the field—in fact, busy weekends might see—but usually, the bites are nothing to worry about.
Bawcom also told me that my fear of squirrel-transmitted plague was likely blown out of proportion. It’s possible, he admitted, but it would require more contact with a squirrel than a quick bite-and-run. That’s because the squirrel itself wouldn’t give you the plague, its fleas would. And while a fleajump from the infected squirrel during an encounter, Bawcom himself had never dealt with plague in his five years at the clinic.
