The greater danger is being attacked by a rabid wild animal. It could be a coyote, skunk, 'possum, raccoon or other animal that normally would not attack a human.

You may see an occasional armadillo roadkill. Armadillos are also to be avoided because they sometimes carry the germs for the human disease leprosy.
