Oh man, I looked up hantavirus, scary stuff. Sorry you had to go through that.
Thankfully there's only been 4 known cases in my state since at least as far back as 1996, but still.
Now I'm starting to rethink the live traps. Also I'm going to be extra careful in the basement, and might throw out more stuff than I was going to before. Great.
Also not going to do what I was planning to do and clean everything up slowly over weeks, even while recently capturing the mice.
- b112 5y agoFor the last 20 hours or so, during the worst, I stayed awake and coughed up golfball sized chunks of phlegm every 15 minutes or so. Apparently, many deaths occur by people literally drowning in their own phlegm. Had I not stayed awake, had I gone to sleep, I suspect it would have built up and I'd have woken choking, without time to cough up the accumulation before death. I had a large set of lungs, and good stamina fortunately. One of my biggest fears is COVID (which is in mice now) mixing genes with this.
