What is hantavirus?

Answer Posted / jenna

A virus that is endemic in a variety of rodent species. It
is a zoonosis, meaning that it can be passed between
rodents and humans. The most common path of infection is
through dried rodent feces that, when disturbed, create an
aerosol that is easily inhaled (be careful next time you
sweep out your garage). It may cause some flu-like
symptoms that are self-limiting (i.e. you just have to wait
on your immune system to take care of it and you get
better). Most people won't notice that they have it, but
in a few cases it has actually been known to cause death.
