It seems totally extreme, and to me, unprofessional, to suggest to anyone to
handle, process and use tissues from animals of unknown origin. The cases of
rabies, at least in North Carolina are on the rise, visit

Also, you can learn more about protecting yourself about rabies at the following
CDC web site
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/rabies/Ques&Ans/q&a.htm

However, there are other potential zoonoses (since animals may serve as
reservoirs for zoonotic pathogens that cause infections in animals and are also
transmissible to humans). The list may be long and can include tuberculosis,
brucellosis, leptospirosis, anthrax, salmonellosis, E. coli bacillosis,
arbovirus infections (Venezuelan equine encephalitis), etc. You may want to
consult a professional.
