I developed asthma and other health issues after tears

[@lemonowl7072]

So I have pet rats that I have in my room and lately I have been having trouble breathing and have had a stuffy nose 24/7 with snot forming in my throat.

[@PWNLORD]

Hey uhh, are u ok??

[@mimo-bine]

Hope you’re feeling better now?

[@Taurusmoon75]

That’s why you don’t keep rats as pets!

[@jennatolls4819]

I fucking hate mice

You forgot to plug in your monitor

According to NYS's health website, between 1995- 2017, 5 residents were diagnosed with hantavirus infection. Most cases are West of the Mississippi.

[@jennifermorley9836]

Rat Bite Fever will usually kill the rat before it ever gets to a human. It is extremely rare that a human contracts Rat Bite Fever. The Black Plague wasn't a rats fault, the flea is to blame. The rat died from the Plague as well.

A rat came into my larder where i have about 500 dollars of tinned food bags of rice and boxes of noodles etc etc , the rat came into the larder through a jole going outside i never knew was there, it used to be a coal bunker. I found the rat and had pest control remove it , but there is a couple of droppings on two of the tins, should i bin the lot or is it safe to clean the food with soap and water using gloves? P.s I had a severe lung infection a fee weeks before that lasted 6 weeks so it wasnt covid...could i have caught something that is now gone? I had blood tests done recently but didnt know there was rats around, so they never checked for rat diseases and i feel fine now so im not sure if i have caught a prolonged disease but can hantavirus heal at home with antibiotivs for lung infections? A lot of questions I know sorry im just worried and also curious. I would be really grateful for any information. Also if anyone watching has information id be appreciative thank you in advance.❤❤❤

This kinda scares me, I always caught and played with wild mice as a kid. I had pet rats when I was younger, 99% were awesome pets. But I had one supper mean one who bit and I even have a scar from her. I have 3 pet mice now. And just a year ago I had a pet field mouse that got into my parents basement. How have I never been sick?! 😂

[@pancakepancake3789]

It's meant to scare you. It's funded by the "National Pest Management Association." They sell "solutions" to "problems" they've paid this doctor to worry you about.

[@leonardobraynen1524]

Your body built up immunity over time. It has to be foreign *BUBONIC PLAGUED INFECTED RATS* to take you out!!!

[@omnislasher2237]

Because only 5% or so carry the nasty diseases mentioned. You are lucky...btw i done the same as a child ugh! 😂

[@apotter8888]

So what do you DO about this when cleaning up?!

[@brotothewilliams4054]

Just risk it that shits expensive

[@ethanvadnais6803]

Arrow exterminator

[@mohamedalitalaat7730]

@A Potter, I wear an N95 mask, and safety glasses then I spray the drops with lysol or any disinfectant like hydrogen peroxide, and bleach. Wait for the area to dry. You can use hepa filtered vacuum cleaner to clean the area after disinfecting.

[@leonardobraynen1524]

Yes wear masks and long rubber gloves that cover up to the elbow, long sleeved shirts and long pants so the skin would not become contaminated. But you knew that 3yrs later.

[@susannoulton7634]

It worry’s me as I had a pet mouse, named Kevin, years ago, and my nephew has had 3 hamsters. Should not worry us so much 😡😡

[@pancakepancake3789]

Don't worry. Your pets brings you so much love and happiness. Nothing is better for your health than that.

[@dennispeaks]

How do you clean out a car that has been infested with mice?

[@digoravas1986]

I just had a piece of rat feces fall in my mouth hit my tooth and landed on my tongue.. ironically I am in the process of moving tonight because a rat infestation.. I moved in here for months ago and because we cannot get rid of the rats and the owner does not want to help. I was afraid for us to end up with the hantavirus... and wouldn't you know it tonight is the night we are packing to avoid that disease that this would happen tonight.. I emailed it Lee spit it out and rinse my mouth out with 50 50% hydrogen peroxide and water for about 15 minutes.. now I just sit and wait Prayfully nothing happens.

[@omnislasher2237]

Sadly the mortality rate (How many die) of Hantavirus is 40-50% theres a 40-50% chance you will die. It usually kills within 2 months but sometimes it takes over a year before the symptoms show and youre insides start to fall out of you and youre brain starts coming out of youre ears. The first symptoms are youre chest going flat if youre a girl and youre penis shrivelling up if youre a boy. Please let me know how you get on a rat poop landed in my miuth just a week ago and im worried too🙁😢😭

[@healandgrow6131]

Oh no i just cleaned and breathe all mice poop 😢 i hate mice and there is one bloody roaming in my house despite all efforts he wont leave :( i am scared for my health
