These roundworms have been known to prefer the eyes and brain mucus. There is no cure, and they can cause blindness, mental issues, and even death. If you or anyone you know is entering the attic, always take special precautions to protect yourself.
Wear protective clothing and air breathers, and properly dispose of the clothing, etc, once you are finished. You may decide to remove the insulation and raccoon excrement. Utilize a company that specializes in environmental removal and disposal techniques. You do not want this stuff getting into the living areas of your home.
Although it will cost a lot of money, replacing the insulation with new material will give you peace of mind and better insulation in your home. Once this is completed, you must also ensure that the raccoons and other animals cannot enter your attic. Cover all possible openings and entrances to your attic with heavy gauge wire mesh to stop them in the future. If they are still in your attic, have a one-way trap door installed so they can get out but not back in. Make sure that any babies are old enough to travel on their own. Otherwise, you will have a very excited and angry parent trying to rescue their babies, which could cause even more damage than they have already accomplished.
