Re: mouse droppings



Some time ago, I opened many boxes of business records from the
development/annual fund office to find mice debris all over.  It also had a
strong smell.  I used a mask and latex gloves, but the room lack proper
ventilation.

There are business office records under the stairs, that no one wants to go
near because of the mice activity.  I have offered to help go through
everything with someone from the business office.  Two problems that I
forsee, the health risks and the lack of a retention schedule ( being
worked on, but a long process).  For security reasons, probably should not
be done while the students are here.  But, the closet is in a basement that
can be airy.

Unfortunately, I have no wisdom to offer, but I do have an additional word
of
warning.  Although one thinks of the hantavirus and the Four Corners
Region,
someone in Vermont who cleaned out his wood pile ended up with the
hantavirus.
He survived, but the diagnosis took forever just because we don't think of
it as
being here in New England.
