Mice infestation should not be taken lightly because it is a lurking danger about to happen to you and our family members. Many people dismiss mice presence as uneventful because they do not know the repercussions of mice infestation. Mice after entering home will take root to become an impending hazard which would consume you food, soil your surfaces with their droppings, and importantly infect you with diseases like Hantavirus. They will also damage numerous household items when they search for nest building material and your precious furniture, home appliances and even home structure will require considerable amount of money to bring them back to original condition. Mice presence is lethal and undeniably destructive hence it is advised that you seek help from experts like BBPP, the most effective Mice Control Services Vaughan and for other towns nearby and string up a mice extermination plan.
Besides damage to your assets and food, the diseases spread by mice look ominous because they can take lives if not checked at the first instance. Here we talk about the infections that mice and rats can spread among you:
Hantavirus
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a severe disease caused in human when coming in to contact with urine or droppings. The Deer Mice is the primary suspect responsible for spreading the disease. Each year one to five cases are reported and one third of them have proved fatal. It is important to take precautions such as wearing gloves while cleaning mice infested places. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, muscle ache in back, hips and shoulders along with chills, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pains. The infection ultimately can damage your respiratory system if not treated at once.
Plague
It is a serious illness caused by the germ named Yersinia pestis and is caused generally by flea which is infected with the virus while feeding on the infected animal such as a rat. Plague can cause glandular fever and causes sores and abscesses in glands of legs and arms. The infection can also spread to pet animals. It is now treatable with anti-biotic medicines because it hasddestroyed large populations in the past due to lack of treatment.
LCMV (lymphocytic choriomeningitis)
The common house mouse is responsible for this disease. Your pets can be infected when they come in contact with house mouse that is infected. The pets can pass it on you and pregnant women are in danger as it can cause birth defects such as intellectual disabilities in the unborn.
Leptospirosis
A bacterial known as Leptospira is responsible for causing the disease in both human and pets. This is severe in temperate lands but other zones of the world are not exempted by the disease. It is released from an infected rodent’ urine which in turn contaminate water and soil and human contract the disease when they come in touch with these two elements. Symptoms include high fever, headache, muscle pain, chills, vomiting, red eyes, jaundice and abdominal pain. If not treated at once it can damage your kidneys.
Tularemia
This is mostly found in wild animals and the bacteria known as Francisella tularensis is responsible. When parasites like flea, tick and mite feed on infected animals can spread them to human either by bites or coming across dead animals that are infected. Symptoms include sore throat, tonsillitis, swelling of glands in the neck and mouth ulcers. It can also turn serious with difficulty in breathing, chest pain, cough etc.
