Beware of mice-caused hantavirus this summer

Hantavirus is a serious respiratory disease carried by deer mice (brown on top and white underneath with large ears). The Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association recommends being cautious when doing spring cleaning and before opening up cabins, buildings, sheds and barns. You can become infected when you inhale dirt and dust contaminated with deer mice droppings. Air out rodent infested buildings or areas at least 30 minutes before cleaning. Use a solution of household bleach (one cup bleach per gallon of water) to spray materials you have used for cleaning mouse droppings. For more information about hantavirus, call the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment at 303-692-2700 or visit http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/dc/zoonosis/hanta/index.html.
