Every homeowner would love to never see a mouse in their
dwelling but it is basically inevitable. Mice live in the wild and commonly
seek refuge inside homes. When you see a mouse, it is important to have the
creature removed in a humane way. Mice can carry disease that can affect
humans, causing sickness, some symptoms being very serious. Below are four
examples of diseases from mice and how
they can affect you in the home.
Hantavirus Pulmonary
Syndrome
Known as HPS, Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome can be spread
via deer mouse, rice rat, cotton rat and white-footed mouse. The virus spreads
from urine, droppings and saliva of the mouse. This type of disease
from mouse droppings can lead to sickness when humans breathe in dust
that is contaminated with urine or droppings, touch something contaminated or
via a bite wound. Symptoms of this disease include fever, headaches, stomach
problems, muscle aches and more.
Hemorrhagic Fever
with Renal Syndrome
This disease is spread via a striped field mouse, bank vole
and yellow-necked field mouse. Direct contact or breathing in contaminated
particles of urine or droppings can see this disease transmitted from mouse to
human. A bite can also result in the sickness. You can spread this disease
person to person with direct contact, though this is rare. Symptoms of this
disease include intense headaches, back pain, fever, chills, blurred vision and
nausea.
Lymphocytic
Chorio-meningitis (LCM)
Transmitted by a house mouse, this virus can be caught in
the same way as the others, exposure to contaminated items or breathing in air
that includes particles of droppings and urine. Symptoms of the disease include
fever, nausea and vomiting.
Salmonellosis
This disease is spread via mice and rats and can be caught
by humans when drinking or eating food that has been contaminated by feces.
Symptoms include pain in the abdomen and muscles, chills, dehydration, fatigue,
fever, loss of appetite, headache, diarrhea or bloody stool.
These are just a few examples of the diseases mice carry
and how they can affect humans. It is never fun to be sick and being able to
prevent such sickness are essential when you find mice in the home. The mice
need to be removed as well as prevented from coming back again. The best way to
ensure that all mice are taken from the home in a humane manner and a plan put
in place to keep mice from coming back, contact expert removal specialists.
Experts in wildlife removal will be able to determine how
the mice are entering your home, where they are living and what areas of your
home are affected by urine and droppings. The mice will need to be removed with
affected areas being cleaned to avoid any issue with disease that the mice
may have been carrying. Entry points are secured to ensure other mice do not
find their way into your home in the future.
