The southwest airflow brought by typhoon Kanu caused a wave of heavy rain in the central and southern regions. Rats may carry hantavirus. The CDC calls for the implementation of “don’t let rats come, don’t let rats live in, don’t let rats eat.”

CDC spokesperson Zeng Shuhui said that hantavirus is a zoonotic infectious disease, and humans can be infected with hantavirus through inhalation or contact Rodent excrement or secretions contaminate flying dust and objects, or are infected by the bite of rodents with viruses, but the chance of transmission through human-to-human contact is extremely low, but when cleaning up the home after the typhoon, wearing Masks, gloves, rubber shoes, etc., to avoid infection by rats.
CDC spokesperson Zeng Shuhui added that the hantavirus syndrome is divided into two types according to clinical symptoms: “hantavirus hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome” and “hantavirus pulmonary syndrome”. The main symptoms after hemorrhagic fever infection are sudden and persistent Fever, conjunctival hyperemia, weakness, back pain, headache, abdominal pain, anorexia, vomiting, etc. Bleeding symptoms appear on the 3rd to 6th day, followed by proteinuria, hypotension or oliguria, and some patients may develop shock or mild nephropathy. And may progress to acute renal failure, the condition can be improved after treatment.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reminded that implementing “don’t let rats come, don’t let rats live in, don’t let rats eat” is the most effective way to prevent hantavirus. The public should pay attention to the possible routes of rats in the environment, kitchen waste or animal feed It should be handled properly, and the environment should be cleaned up, especially warehouses, storage rooms and other spaces where rats are easy to hide.
