Rat Warning
Rats-rats-rats. Rats pass on diseases several ways, through a bite, scratch or other direct contact, although I have not heard of anyone being attracted by a rat. They can also pass on diseases if you breathe in dust contaminated with their urine, saliva or feces, or eat food soiled with their feces. Rats may carry diseases such as: Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome, Lassa Fever, Leptospirosis, Lymphocytic Chorio-meningitis (LCM), Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever, the Plague, Rat-Bite Fever, Salmonellosis, South American Arenaviruses, Argentine hemorrhagic fever, Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, Sabiá-associated hemorrhagic fever, Venezuelan hemorrhagic fever and Tularemia. Fortunately, you can recover from these diseases if treated promptly. Rats spend their lives gnawing and wearing their teeth down, which grow more than 2 millimeters per week. If their teeth are allowed to grow without restraint, the rat’s incisors would grow in a spiral with an angle of 86 degrees. As a side note, rats don’t like to chew through steel wool or metal mess but they will pull it out to gain enter. Rats also leave greasy black smears along the routes they travel and when they push themselves through tight spaces.
