Recent reports involving hantavirus have reminded the world just how dangerous rodent contamination can become when not handled properly. The virus can spread through exposure to contaminated rodent droppings, urine, saliva, and disturbed nesting materials — especially in enclosed spaces, attics, crawlspaces, garages, vacant homes, hoarding environments, and contaminated structures. Health officials warn that severe cases can rapidly become life-threatening respiratory illnesses. (World Health Organization)
