The Hidden Dangers in Rat Droppings
Why you should never clean rat droppings yourself:
Health Risks:
- Hantavirus: A potentially fatal respiratory disease spread through airborne particles from dried droppings
- Leptospirosis: A bacterial infection that can cause kidney damage and liver failure
- Salmonella: Contamination that can spread to food preparation surfaces
- Rat Bite Fever: Can be transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces
Contamination Spread:
- Airborne Particles: Sweeping or vacuuming kicks dangerous pathogens into the air
- Cross Contamination: Moving between contaminated and clean areas spreads bacteria
- Incomplete Sanitation: Surface cleaning misses embedded contamination in insulation and building materials
