http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanta_virus Nasty stuff. From: http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/health/hantavirus.html "Avoid sweeping up or vacuuming mouse droppings, which can inject viral particles into the air. Instead, don a pair of rubber gloves and wet the material with bleach or similar disinfectant. Use a damp cloth to clean up the area and then spray with more disinfectant. Spray any dead mice with disinfectant and double-bag them for disposal. Disinfect, or better still, throw out the rubber gloves. Items that can’t be disinfected can be rendered safe by exposing them to sunlight for a few hours. Ultraviolet rays kill hantavirus. People who regularly work in rodent-infested areas would be well advised to wear HEPA-filter face masks." Most sites say the best killer of the virus outside of the body is UV light. Sunlight wipes it out... but most of our repeater sites have little to none of that. -- Nate Duehr, WY0X [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
