Frequent hand washing can reduce the likelihood of acquiring Parinaud's syndrome. Specifically, tularemia can be avoided by not having contact with wild rabbits, squirrels, or ticks.

Cat scratch disease is usually a self-limited, acute illness associated with enlarged lymph nodes, fatigue, headache, and decreased appetite. It is more likely to be transmitted by kittens than by older cats.
