Hi David, Yes, there are other "nasty things" that rodents carry on to us. To name a few: Bordetellosis bacteria rats Encephalomyocarditis virus rats, mice Leptospirosis bacteria rats, mice Pseudorabies virus rats* Salmonellosis bacteria rats, mice Swine dysentery bacteria rats, mice Swine erysipelas bacteria rats Toxoplasmosis protozoan various rodents Trichinosis nematode rats The list is really quite extensive, probalby on the order of two or three dozen potential infections/diseases one could reliably get from mice/rats. However, I've not been able to find reliable information as to the viability of these agents outside the carrier. In the end, use caution. ;-] William R.
