Now I see that we are talking about a different desease. Mange is caused by a mite that cannot be seen by the human eye. No lumps involved, just a mites under the skin of an animal. Take a look at these links. Not very pretty as well. Got to feel sorry for these infested tree rats.

Now, my question is when you encounter a squirrel like this, do you shoot him or let nature take it's course. I understand that nature isn't hardly ever merciful.

Be safe !!!!
