"Rat fever" can be contracted while cleaning the dacha. The infection is transmitted through the secretions of infected rodents, including through inhalation of contaminated dust. This risk arises when cleaning sheds, garages and country houses. Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is not transmitted from person to person. The disease can cause high fever, muscle pain and severe kidney damage. Symptoms usually appear two to three weeks after infection, sometimes later. If you have a fever, lower back pain and a decrease in the amount of urine, you should see a doctor urgently. It is recommended to clean rooms with rodent traces using a wet method using an antiseptic, wearing gloves and a respirator. Do not sweep dry waste or use a vacuum cleaner: this raises dust that may be contaminated. Telegram | MAX.
