Right. WE have had only three hantevirus cases in IA that I am aware of. One death, a turkey hunter, andtwo kids that got bit by a mouse. They are filthy creatures urinating all of the time.
Yup, pretty gross to think about but rats and mice are both incontinent, meaning that as their kidneys produce urine, it comes straight out leaving a nearly solid trail of urine wherever they go. Nasty stuff!
Makes you really want to eat at that NYC KFC/Taco Bell on the news with the rats running around, doesn't it?
