Here are some of the life-threatening diseases these mice spread.
Hantavirus
Hantavirus is one of the diseases that mice spread around. Symptoms of this virus include abnormal chills in your entire body, headache, dizziness, abdominal cramps and worst cases, and the virus can become life-threatening.
Hantavirus is spread by rodents, also known as the chief of the white foot deer mice. Just by inhaling rodent urine, you can get this virus, or if you somehow touched it. The feces mice leave behind are another source for this virus to spread. All the things these mice come into contact with can become contaminated.
Rat-Bite Fever
Rat-bite fever is as dangerous as it sounds. If you got the virus and did not get treatment quickly enough, it may become fatal for you. The symptoms could set in three to ten days after you get the infection. These symptoms include headache, fever, vomiting and swelling with muscle and joint pain.
If your mice infestation gets bad enough, they can easily bite or scratch you, even if you are sleeping. You can get infected even if you have food or water already been contaminated by the mice.
Salmonellosis
Salmonella is not only caused by coming into contact with eggs or raw chicken. You can also get it from mice. Usually, you would get this virus by eating any food already been contaminated by the mice. Symptoms of this virus include fever, vomiting, and unbearable abdominal pain. If you haven’t sought medical attention on time, it can become life-threatening for you or anyone in your family.
Bubonic Plague
You might think that the bubonic plague is a relic of history, sadly you are wrong. The so-called black death is real, and it is not stuck back in history. There are have been new cases of deaths by this plague in this decade. This plague is highly contagious and still an issue to take care of. It typically spreads by a bite from an infected rodent.
