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.

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.
