Hello.

I have been severely ill for many months now and doctors can't find out whats wrong with me, but none of them have asked simple questions about what possiblity could have brought this on. I moved into a house about a year ago and moved out 6 months into it. The house had mice and I cleaned alot of droppings and urine I suppose , without knowing the proper steps in doing so I could have contracted a virus or disease. I was curious if you can actually get lyme from mice droppings? And what is the most accurate test to get properly DX? Thanks ahead of time and please respond quickly because I'm going to DOC tomorrow and I don't want to just go to doctor and rely on a unreliable test I have lost trust in medical field. thanks again

Hanta Virus is a virus humans can get from handling mouse feces. Might want to check that out.

You can get bartonella from flea poop. I don't see why you couldn't get it from mice droppings. Could be something totally different tho.

Another important fact....mice carry the deer ticks. You could have been bitten and not known it.


The best test is the Igenix antibody test...a lab in CA.
