How harmful are racoon droppings to hunans ?

Depends: It depends. The droppings should not be handled barehanded. Wash the area after removal and your hands. Some depends on if the animal is diseased, or nor and some depends on how you take precautions if you move the droppings.

Non-bite exposure: causing rabies this way is quite rare. Two conditions are needed to become sick = you must have an open wound, and the infected animal's saliva or neural tissue. In addition: contact with blood, urine, or feces (guano) of a rabid animal does not constitute an exposure.

Roundworm infection: Racoom droppings can contain Baylisascaris procyonis, a roundworm that can infect humans.
