One day you are sweeping out your garage, gathering firewood, or maybe even shaking out your tent from a camping trip...and the next week you're in the ICU hoping that that 50-80% mortality figure was wrong. That's the friendly hantavirus for you, from the disarmingly named Bunyaviridae family (ssRNA, negative stranded, segmented, helical!!!! ...for those of you who still-have-not-taken-that-freaking-test but are reading this blog for some insane reason.)
Anyway, don't sweep in places where there might be mouse droppings or go out befriending furry little wild rodents. That's how that little sucker gets you. Makes me want to seal myself up in a sterile little box somewhere...
