Mice are often viewed as just annoying, but the truth is much more disturbing, as mice pose a major health problem, and may help spread deadly diseases, in addition to their ability to contaminate food. In this report, we learn about the many risks that accompany the presence of mice in your home. According to the Times of India website.
Hantavirus pneumonia infection
Rats are carriers of Hantaviruses, which humans can become infected by coming into contact with rat urine, droppings, or saliva. This condition is known as Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) can cause life-threatening respiratory discomfort and sometimes death.
Rat bite fever
This deadly contagious disease can be contracted through direct contact with mice, their bites, or even scratches. Medical assistance should be obtained as soon as possible if exposure is suspected.
the plague
Although uncommon, rat infestations have been linked to outbreaks of bubonic plague, so it is important to control rats to avoid a recurrence of the plague.
Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can infect humans when they come into contact with contaminated water or soil. Rats are known to carry this infection.
It can range from minor flu-like symptoms to serious consequences affecting the kidneys and liver.
Salmonellosis
Mice have the ability to harbor salmonella bacteria, which can help transmit the disease. This bacterial infection, which can cause symptoms including fever, abdominal cramping and diarrhea, is caused by eating contaminated food or coming into contact with rat droppings. Hospital treatment may be necessary in severe cases.
