The Potential Health Risks Of Having Mice In Your HomeÂ
Â
If you live in San Jose, California, or the surrounding communities of Alum Rock or Santa Clara, you may have encountered an unwelcome visitor in your home—a mouse. While these rodents may be relatively harmless-looking, they can carry several diseases that are harmful to humans.Â

- Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a severe respiratory disease caused by the hantavirus. It is spread primarily through contact with mouse droppings or urine. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, coughing, and difficulty breathing. If left untreated, HPS can result in death.Â
Â
- Salmonellosis is an infection caused by salmonella bacteria found in rodent feces or urine. This type of infection can cause diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Symptoms usually last between 4-7 days but may persist for longer periods depending on the individual’s health status and the severity of the infection.Â
Â
- Leptospirosis is another bacterial disease that is spread by contact with water or soil contaminated with mouse urine or droppings. Symptoms include fever, chills, headaches, and muscle aches; some people may experience jaundice (yellowing of the skin) as well as kidney damage if the disease progresses into its more severe stages.Â
Â
- Rabies is a viral disease that can be passed from infected animals to humans through bites or scratches; while it is less commonly associated with mice than other rodents like rats or squirrels, it is still possible for mice to transmit rabies if they have been infected by an animal carrying it. Common symptoms include fever, headache, and confusion; left untreated rabies can lead to coma and death within days after symptoms appear.Â

Rodents are small mammals of the order Rodentia which includes mice, rats, squirrels, guinea pigs, and porcupines. They have sharp incisors for gnawing and nibbling on foods such as grain, bark, and other material.
