> I'm not scared of rodents, but mice... ugh. Why? Simply because HERE, mice carry a serious, possibly fatal disease (I forget what it's called) that is transmittable to humans... so people tend to be exceptionally weird about even traces of mice.

The Hanta Virus.

> I remember once when my Dad found mouse poop in the shed, and he banned me and my sisters from going near the place until he'd cleaned it up. Yeesh.

We had a similar scare at my high school when I was in grade eleven or twelve-- they almost ended up cancelling classes because they thought there MIGHT be a mouse living in one of the classrooms. I do remember that we were all on "mouse alert"-- if anyone saw a mouse, we were to let everyone know and evacuate the classroom.

Don "I was probably not as afraid as the Hanta Virus as I should have been-- probably because they told us that the early symptoms were like the common cold. I figured, 'The common cold? Who cares?' I still don't know what the big deal about the Hanta Virus is/was-- maybe I should look it up. I even had a mouse living in my house two falls ago..." Monkey
