Hantavirus outbreak in Yosemite National Park
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2012 3:54 am
Just read a story on hantavirus outbreak in Yosemite National Park. More specifically, infected visitors staying in Curry Village tent cabins that are infested with deer mice. Mice are known to carry the airborne virus in droppings, urine and saliva. Has anyone on this website had mice problems while staying in Curry village tent cabins over the years. I have a pole building near my home where I store forestry equipment, air-dried boards, etc. Lots of evidence of mice presence in this building. Maybe I should take some steps to make the building mouse-proof. Are some human physical conditions more at risk to hantavirus than others? Any thoughts on this subject.
