Mice infestation is dangerous to health. When they co-exist with you under your roof the dangers are manifold, as they are capable of contracting residents with lethal infections. Some of the high risk diseases spread by rats and mice would include Hantavirus, Salmonellosis, and LCMV, rat-bite-fever, typhus, plague and more. These are highly contagious and lethal infections that could take lives if not cared at once. As a house owner you must guard your property and lives against mice invasion and the resulting infections by taking appropriate measures such as calling in professional rodent exterminators like BBPP, the most successful mice control services Woodbridge, and for nearby communities and get rid of them.
How they spread dreaded diseases?
When you come in contact with them directly or indirectly you will get infected with any of the above diseases. Rodents can spread the following diseases by their droppings, urine, saliva, or through parasites such as ticks, mites and fleas known to habit their body. Diseases spread by them are:
- Hantavirus
- Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
- Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome
- Rat-bite-fever
- Lassa Fever
- Leptospirosis
- Lujo Hemorrhagic Fever
- Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCM)
- Monkeypox
- Salmonellosis
The infection is spread through droppings that have gone dry and transformed in to powder form. The powdery substance gets mingled with air that you breathe and cause the infection. If you contact an infected mouse with your bare hands you are likely to get infected. Mice carry parasites that can carry the infection to human through bites. An infected parasite can infect the host or mouse, which makes the situation more dangerous. Whether you are bitten by an infected flea or come in direct contact with the body of a mouse or rat, you are certain to get infected.
Another way mice can carry these infections to human is through infecting food items, water and other eatables. Mice have the habit of defecating and urinating on food items like grains, seeds, nuts etc and that could pose a problem. If you consume the cereals infected by mice urine or droppings can cause the above diseases. Most of the above mentioned diseases are of dangerous kind because they particularly attack your digestive track, respiratory system and cardio vascular system. Symptoms for these diseases are mostly common and you can suffer from
- Fever
- Headache
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Muscular pain
- Lack of appetite
- Diarrhoea
- Vomiting
- Dizziness
You should seek immediate medical attention if you find the above symptoms in the victim and should get admission in emergency care. If these symptoms are not treated with appropriate antibiotic medicines it is likely to end in tragedy.
