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.

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.
