Just got off the phone with an urgent care nurse who was very patient but clearly thought I was a hypochondriac wasting her time with hantavirus questions lol

Thought an open garage door on a garage that sees regular use was probably enough circulation, used the phrase "very very very rare" multiple times in a 5-minute conversation, etc

but if I die I'll let you guys know and we can set the counter back to zero

Incubation period on that baby is maybe 24-48 hours so it'll kick off shortly or not at all

These were very old turds though and my wife (anxiety veteran) just sent me an article claiming hantavirus survives for 2 or 3 days at room temperature so only active infestations can cause it. I think I'm probably gonna live out the week but again will livepost the emergency room if it comes to that

lol i was only kinda joking, but for real you should wear masks+gloves when working in wild rat/mouse nest areas. then clean tools afterwards. it's not like super super common, but it's not that extremely 1 in 1 million kinda rare chance either

I did that first but it said the fatality rate was 40% so I was like maybe a phone call too
