The clothes that are worn while cleaning the rodent waste are supposed to be thrown away as they might get infected in the process of cleaning.
Although deer mice are the main transmitters of Hantavirus, rodents such as cotton rats, white-footed rats, and rice rats are the carriers. This virus is harmful and can also be fatal. It is found in the urine, feces, and saliva of the deer mouse. This virus is transmitted to human beings through airborne particles. The symptoms of Hantavirus are very similar to common flu. One has to quickly seek medical attention, when the symptoms of this virus are identified.
Mouse droppings are approximately the size of a grain of rice and are spindle-shaped. Most of the mouse species transmit viruses, bacteria, and diseases through their feces, urine, and saliva.
