Rodents are usually beckoned by unsanitary conditions and food availability. They then leave droppings which contain bacteria which can cause allergies and contaminate food. 

Diseases Caused by Rodent Droppings:
  • Hantavirus: The white-footed deer mouse is known to transmit this life-threatening disease to humans. The disease can be contracted by inhaling or touching of rodent urine, droppings, or saliva. The greater the extent of rodent infestation, the higher the risk of contracting Hantavirus. 

  • Bubonic Plague: It is transmissible through bites of infected rodent flea. The symptoms of bubonic plague include fever, swollen lymph nodes, and headaches. 

  • Salmonellosis: It is a form of food poisoning by rodent droppings if contaminated food is ingested. It causes abdominal discomfort, fever, and diarrhea. 

  • Leptospirosis: Rodent urine carries leptospirosis, which damages kidneys, liver, and the cardiovascular system. People can also contract the disease by inhaling or coming into contact with scat.
