    Many pests are causing a nuisance for property owners in Manchester. You can argue that rats are the worst intruder in your area. They are not just incredibly annoying, but also destructive and dangerous. Infestation is not an uncommon thing, especially in the winter months.

    Many people don’t realise that these pests are more than a nuisance. Rodents like mice and rats come with various health hazards. Mice and rats can cause more than 35 diseases. The diseases spread to humans by handling dead or alive rodents, feces, saliva, urine, rodent bites and contact with the rodent.

    Diseases these pests carry can indirectly spread to you through ticks, fleas or mites fed on an infected rodent. That is why, if you find these annoying intruders call mouse pest control Manchester without delay. Pest Control Manchester offers a visit by their technicians and surveys of your property to discover the source of the invasion to come up with a solution. All these treatments by Pest Control Manchester are potent and guarantee you a rodent-free house.

    The pest problem becomes more evident when the weather gets cooler. Like others, these pests also start looking for a warm shelter to spend these cold months. So, they start invading your property and even your cars. Rodent droppings can transmit food borne illnesses like Salmonella and trigger allergies.

    Thus, prompt removal and prevention are the key to stopping these health hazards.

    Some of the most common diseases you get from rodent infestation include –

    • Hantavirus
    • Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis
    • plague
    • Tularaemia

    The following post will give you a deep understanding of the health hazard these rodents can cause you.

    Hantavirus

    It is a virus that a white-footed mouse, deer mouse, rice and cotton rat carries. It is a group of viruses that makes people sick. It causes kidney, respiratory or blood ailments. Hantavirus causes fatality in some cases.

    However, it is a relatively rare disease. It still is a dubious and grave disease. Even today, there is no cure, treatment or vaccine for this infection. If the Hantavirus spots early on, the patient can receive timely and acute medical care. The patient may do better in this case.

    Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCM)

    LCM or Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis is a rodent-borne viral infectious disease. The Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis virus is the cause of this infection, and the ordinary house mouse is the prime host of this virus. The transmission of this infection occurs after a person has exposure to fresh dropping, saliva, urine or nesting materials of house mice. A bite from infected rodents can also expose such infection.

    Transmission may occur when a person gets to these materials through broken skin, eyes, nose and mouth. The LCMV infection has phases, presumably two phases.

    The first phase includes non-specific flu-like symptoms and signs such as –

    • Fever
    • Lack of appetite
    • Malaise
    • Headache
    • Muscle aches
    • Vomiting
    • Nausea

    The less recurring symptoms include –

    • Cough
    • Sore throat
    • Chest pain
    • Joints pain
    • Salivary gland pain
    • Testicular pain

    The second phase of this infection is a neurological disease. According to relevant sources, the symptoms may include encephalitis, meningitis or meningoencephalitis. Most patients with neurological problems may need hospitalisation based on the severity of their condition.
