    A mouse trapped in Carlsbad by San Diego Vector Control
    tested positive for the potentially deadly hantavirus
    The mouse was trapped at Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
  • A mouse trapped in Carlsbad has tested positive for the potentially deadly hantavirus
    The wild harvest mouse was living near Agua Hedionda Lagoon, a popular site for outdoor
    activities like kayaking and hiking.
    The San Diego Department of Environmental Health announced the positive test result as a way
    to warn residents about the threat of rodent activity in the Carlsbad area.
    Hantavirus is a group of viruses that infect rodents and can be deadly to humans if rodent
    dropping or dried rodent urine is broken up and allowed to become airborne. This can happen
    when cleaning or sweeping up places where infected mice have nested. Once airborne, people
    can breathe in the small airborne particles infecting themselves.
    It’s rare for humans to contract hantavirus as long as wild rodents stay in the wild and don’t get
    into garages, sheds, and homes , said health officials.
     
    Here’s how you can protect yourself, according to San Diego health officials:
    ? Seal up all external holes in homes, garages and sheds larger than a dime to keep rodents
    from getting in.
    ? Eliminate rodent infestations immediately.
    ? Avoid rodent-infested areas and don’t stir up dust or materials that may be contaminated
    with rodent droppings, saliva and urine.
    ? Clean up rodent droppings and urine using a wet cleaning method.
    ? Get and maintain a rodent population control service on your property.
