        Overview
        Tularemia is a disease that can infect animals and people. Rabbits, hares, and rodents are especially susceptible and often die in large numbers during outbreaks. People can become infected in several ways, including:
          * Tick and deer fly bites
          * Skin contact with infected animals
          * Drinking contaminated water
          * Inhaling contaminated aerosols or agricultural and landscaping dust
          * Laboratory exposure
        In addition, people could be exposed as a result of bioterrorism.
        Symptoms vary depending how the person was infected. Tularemia can be life-threatening, but most infections can be treated successfully with antibiotics.
        Steps to prevent tularemia include:
          * Using insect repellent
          * Wearing gloves when handling sick or dead animals
          * Avoiding mowing over dead animals
        In the United States, naturally occurring infections have been reported from all states except Hawaii.
