They don't look nasty. I think they're cute :) People sort of make assumptions and generalizations of them before knowing them like they do with Pitbulls I think.Quote:

OMG! I can't believe I wrote that!!!!!! WHy would I write two L's. that is bezarr (sp?). It also made me giggle too. And yes, I meant kiss all over, lol!:rolleyes:
Please keep this thread on the original subject. I do not want to hear bout how rats/mice carry disease! It's that talk that makes people worried and confused!!!!!!!!!
"Hantavirus is vectored (passed onto humans) by mice, although it is Deer Mice that spread the most dangerous form of Hantavirus, and we discuss this in a separate BugInfo article. The House Mouse currently is not incriminated in the spread of any virulent forms of Hantavirus. "
Please research first.
Sorry.....it really was not my intention to freak people out or something....and you may notice that I did say WILD mice, not pet mice that had it. No, I'm not a hantavirus expert, but I didn't feel there was any reason for me to "research" before I made one little comment...what I said was true anyway.Quote:

We have some property in the mountains and we left our 5th wheel up there. Somehow mice got in and the entire place was covered in mouse poop. It was under the beds...in the drawers...everywhere. We did manage to clean it up (wetting it down, wearing gloves/masks/etc.) without any problems. But it *is* something that people should know about, and they should be careful around WILD rodents.
I'm really not the one who completely changed the topic of the thread, it's been going on the entire time.
I'm sorry, I just took offense because I have a wild mouse and rehab them often. Sorry. You are right, it is something people should know about. But again, only WILD mice. And not all wild mice either. Also only some parts of the US have outbreaks and animals that actually carry it.
Yeah well, the outbreaks have been in my area of the country, so I feel I have a reason to be concerned here. If hantavirus has occured at all in your state, I feel it is safe to assume you should be careful around any wild mice...at least the droppings. It's often hard to know you have hantavirus until it's too late.Quote:

Sorry, I would have never replied any more about this if there wasn't replies to my one comment. I really am not trying to say anything bad about mice or rats....wild or domestic.
