This type accounts for only about 1% of all cases of tularemia
Five types of illness may occur, depending on where/how the bacteria enter the body: Ulceroglandular/glandular tularemia, Oculoglandular tularemia,Oropharyngeal and gastrointestinal tularemia, Pulmonary tularemia, Typhoidal tularemia
Ulceroglandular/glandular tularemia. Seventy-five to 85% of all cases are of this type.
The lining of the eyelids and the surface of the white of the eye becomes red and severely painful, with multiple small yellow bumps and pitted sores (ulcers). Lymph nodes around the ears, under the jaw, or in the neck may swell and become painful.
Researchers suspect that the first step in the development of Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome occurs when Bartonella henselae bacteria pass from a cat's saliva to its fur during grooming.
In the United States, the vast majority of cases of tularemia occur in the southeastern and Rocky Mountain states.

Tularemia can be treated with drugs, the best choices being streptomycin. There is a vaccine for it but not many people get it because it can be dangerous.
Tularemia
One of them is Tularemia.
Tularemia is a rare infectious disease that typically attacks the skin, eyes, lymph nodes and lungs. Tularemia — also called rabbit fever or deer fly fever — is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. There is usually an ulcer seen at the site of infection.
Rubbing one's eyes after handling the cat then transmits the bacteria to the conjunctiva.
