How can you tell if a raccoon has rabies?

I have trap set up outside and if i catch a raccoon how can i tell if it has rabies after killing it. Is the meat even good to eat? If the raccoon does have rabies will it make the meat bad?Thanks for helping!How can you tell if a raccoon has rabies?
I live down south and some poor folks to eat 'coon meat, but only as a last resort. They trap it and then feed it wonder bread (cheap white bread) for awhile to 'clean it out'. It has a consistency something like greasy chicken legs. They brine it at least 24 hrs, then they parboil it. Raccoons on the east coast states are as likely as not to be carrying rabies and you can't tell by looking unless they are deep in the throws of it.. foaming, staggering and so on. Some people actually like raccoon meat, but it is hard to prepare under the best of circumstances. My advice, if you are going to trap it anyway, why kill the little varmint. Just take a few minutes to drive it out away from your house if it is getting into stuff. Doesn't seem necessary to kill a thing simply because it is doing what nature guides it to do.How can you tell if a raccoon has rabies?
foaming of the mouth strange behavior *such as extreme anger or confusion and being out during the day and no i dont think the meat is good
was it awake during the day? if so its 95% rabid
