Hantavirus is back – Just avoid Rodents

 

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome is spread by contact with rodents and their urine, feces or saliva, and rarely from person-to-person. Lately the news started panic that another viral pandemic is ready to make the rounds. Hantavirus has actually been around for centuries and is most prevalent in China with as many as 100,000 cases a year. Each hantavirus has a specific rodent host species and are named “New World” (North America) and “Old World” (Europe and Asia), both diseases are considered rare, but can be fatal. The rodents shed the virus in their saliva, urine and feces. People can contract the hantavirus if they touch something that has been contaminated by rodents and then touch their nose, eyes, ears or mouth.  Sanitation is key, wear gloves and use disinfection spray to clean all areas rodents have been.
