As most people know, true opiates such as morphine and hydrocodone are highly addictive drugs because they contain narcotic components. In comparison, Tramadol is a non-narcotic medication even though the effects it produces are similar to narcotics. This is the primary reason many people still question the classification for Tramadol as being a narcotic drug or not.
Armadillos do carry diseases. In fact, one of the most common diseases that are often found in armadillos is leprosy. The link between human infection and armadillos has not yet been heavily tested, but it does still remain a risk.
Others, like leprosy, have never been reported to have transmitted from infected monkeys to humans. Pet monkeys in the United States are not a source of these diseases, so I do not cover them. Diseases like Monkey Pox are misnamed and have little to do with monkeys.
