When I hear about mice in a house, Hanta comes to mind--another reason for disposing of it as quickly as possible, tho the chances of it spreading that particular virus is quite slim.

Hanta?

You had to ask--sure ya wanna know? Well--not to alrm you but here it is........
One of those fairly rare diseases that pops up every once in a while, but when it does, CDC is all over it, and for good reason. It's bad juju. For lack of a better way to put it, it's victims drown in their own pulmonary fluids, and it has show to affect perfectly healthy people in the prime of their life.
Actually called Hantavirus--virus with no name--the newest version is HPS or Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. It is a Hemorragic Fever and one of 3 hemorragic fevers researched by the US as a biological weapon. Fatal in about 33% of cases--in hospital care. Nasty nasty stuff, and I avoid rodents like the proverbial plague because of it.
Like many viri, there is no known antiviral treatment, but natural recovery is possible. There was an outbreak of it in the Four Corners ara of New Mexico in 1993, which was the first known time the Old World strain evolved into HPS, and the strain isolated--basically--all of a sudden we had a brand new disease here in the US, and it was spread by our old farm nemises, the rodent--in the Four Corners case--the lowly deer mouse. I remember it well, as I had a close friend who lived in the affected area at the time and he was quite scared.

As of Nov 2010, 560 cases of HPS have been reported in 32 states in the US.

Infection with hantavirus can progress to Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), which can be fatal. People become infected through contact with hantavirus-infected rodents or their urine and droppings. The Sin Nombre hantavirus, first recognized in 1993, is one of several New World hantaviruses circulating in the US. Old World hantaviruses, found in Asia, can cause Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS). Rodent control in and around the home remains the primary strategy for preventing hantavirus infection. All cases of Hantavirus infection are reported to and researched by the Viral Special Pathogens Branch (VSPB) of the CDC.

Ya know what, i changed my mind, i dont want to know

Well, how common is it for rodents to have it? I guess to be fair, its a vole, and ive been bitten by voles since I was like 5, and im still healthy (normal tho i cant say... but whether i started off normal, is the question)

ummm....I'll just take the rain thanks

Lol, Ill send you the rain and our little 'Moose loose in the hoose" !

 

[HankTheTank]

I have a "moose loose in my hoose" as well! He lives near the stove and runs around late at night when everyone else is asleep (besides me, usually...) I like mice, they're cute Not as cute when they're running around my kitchen, but still kinda cute
