So what is Hantavirus?
It’s spread by infected rodents, mainly the deer mouse. And here’s the scary part.. you don't need to be bitten. You don't even need to touch the mouse. Just breathing in dust from their urine, droppings, or nesting materials is enough. One deep breath in the wrong dusty cabin, that's all it takes. Once it enters your lungs, your own immune system panics and overreacts. Your lungs start filling with fluid.
The recent news that they have seen human to human transmission on the ship. Viruses mutate
So next time you're cleaning out a dusty old shed, a forgotten garage, or a cabin you haven't visited in months, please wear a mask. Because the most dangerous things in nature don't always roar.
