[00:00:00]Right now, recent hantavirus cases are making headlines after multiple people became seriously ill and several deaths were reported. But what's terrifying is this dangerous virus can start from something as small as a mouse.

[00:00:14]Hantavirus mainly spreads through infected rat or mouse droppings, urine, and saliva. When disturbed, tiny infected particles can enter the air, and once inhaled, the virus attacks the lungs. Early symptoms look harmless: fever, body pain, headaches, and fatigue. But within days, some patients suddenly develop severe breathing problems that can become deadly. That's why experts warn, "Never dry sweep rodent droppings. Always spray disinfectant first and wear gloves and a mask. A tiny mouse may not look dangerous, but the virus it carries can kill. Stay alert and stay safe."
