fear of rodents

t handling them or cleaning up after them. With rodents most of the stuff they would carry they would have to bite you to pass it on.

s not just rodents you need to worry about in terms of carrying the disease.

Any type of rodent or rodent poop is harmful to a pregnant woman

I have read that egyptians used to use domestic cats to guard their grain storage areas from rodents and anyone caught harming these animals would have the death sentence imposed on them. They even mummified dead cats and treated them as gods/goddesses. However, from all the varieties today, I assume there must have been more than one origin?

And it says to avoid handling rodents and cleaning their cages because they can carry something that can cause miscarriage or birth abnormalities. I AM WIGGING OUT! we own two rats, that for the past 20 weeks I have been cleaning their cage, playing with them, holding them, baithing,AND KISSING THEM. I don't know if I'm over reacting, and should just stop doing all those things, and. I'll be fine. Or if I should call my doctor right away.

If your cat is an inside cat she cant have the bacteria unless of course you are the one feeding her with raw meat or have rodents inside the house that she can catch. But in either way, just wash your hands properly after cleaning your cats litter and you will be fine.

I had to use gloves of course and cover my nose with my jacked, i just coudent stand the bad smell since my nose is so sensitive now, im worried the smell can harm my unborn baby.

What you descrive is a panic attack when you have this intense fear, then you become afraid of the fear and so on until it becomes a vicious circle. You came to the right place! You should browze a lot of these threads as you will quickly see that you are not alone in your fear and anxiety and you will perhaps learn from how others have coped with it.

There are lots of possibilities, but it is extremely likely that one or more infections are involved. I would not focus so much on EBV as other infections could be involved that could cause more severe symptoms.

Certain ones like saccharin have been shown to cause birth defects in rodents, though most sodas have aspartame or sucralose. Still, go for the straight sugar. You never know what they're going to ban next.

As a puppy of 6 months old, we left him at home, in a room with a wide view of the outside world on three sides, with care takers attending him three times a day for about 45 minutes each while we were on vacation. I, presume, out of loneliness and fear he burrowed through the wall and got into the habit of eating gypsum, which I couldn't predict.

I have heard your not supposed to but the main thing is if cats are outdoor catching animals an such but if they are indoor and not catching rodents. everything is ok.

t know about the rest of you but I would rather have shy cats around me than dangerous rodents. As long as I live I will never neuter my cats, nor will most of my neighbors. We live in a rat-free community - just the way we like it. Keep your rats. I will keep cats.

Well they are not mine but they bug the livid sh*t out of me , my roomates daughter has them caged up in her room I know to stay away from their feces but what if this little girl holds it then touches our food without us knowing (she's just a kid )and I see their hairs everywhere!!! I spray disinfectant as much as I can but the spray can be too much too.

It is very unlikely you could get rabies this way. You have to get the saliva of tha animal onto an open wound, bite of the animal or get the saliva on your eye or mouth. Rodents are very rarely infected with rabies. Usually it is dogs or bats. Did the food look eaten?

How is the Tulareima transfered to humans from dogs? And how high is the risk of it being spread from dog to dog and how does that happen?

There is no way you are going to get pregnant using a restroom. How old are you and how long has this fear of pregnancy been going on? Do you see a psychologist?

Becaus I thought that it was originally SIV which is found in monkeys so how come that it was transmitted in humans and became HIV?................Is there any other ways of transmission or odd ways except unprotected anal/vaginal sex, contaminated syringes/needles and mother to child? I can't help but when I think of this disease I think of it too much because of discrimination so I want to clarify how it is actually transmitted.

Your body needs a certain amount of calories just to stay alive and if you drop below that, you will do much more harm than good.

So I think I unavoidably and unfortunately ran over some an animal that was already dead (I believe it was a rabbit), and then 3 minutes after I pulled into the driveway. I got out of my car, and I inspected the tire that ran over the animal, and the wind was blowing from my car to my face. Now, this is really silly, but is there any way that rabies particles could have blown to my face and I thus inhaled it? I may have been about 3 feet from the tire.

t even sound safe to take internally or externally. Boric Acid is a toxin used to kill rodents. I have heard of one home remedy for boric acid, and that is for ear aches...and that doesn't even sound safe to me. Only your OB can tell you what is safe to treat your yeast infection. I know Monistat is safe to use. Please don't ever try to self diagnose or treat yourself during pregnancy, it's not worth the consequences to your baby.

) I have come up with the selections in this poll by listing the first seven animals that I could think of and I have decided to use the Other option for the rest of the animals not listed. I love all kinds of animals and those are some of my favorites, but I can't really pick only one favorite.

Yes, this could be some type of bacteria that you have picked up in your system from the droppings. Rats are very dirty rodents. Why doesn't your job do something about this problem. How are the droppings getting on your desk? Why don't you report matter to your local health department. This can be done anonymously.

Fear of driving off the road. Fear of losing love. Fear of failure.

Clinging to an assumption of status quo as the natural state of the universe introduces all sorts of errors, and your comments on biodiversity and the effect of large populations of small rodents explains elegantly the effects of deforestation as woods and forests were cleared for farm land over the last few centuries, now followed (as Weintraub describes in her book) by the suburbanization of the farmland -- thus providing cover for the tick-bearing rodents but not for the natural predators o

I have a cat I have had for 12 years before my daughter was born a month ago. I think that the fear of having animals is part of the old ways of thinking. Things have changed. Things even changed since my sis in law had her kid 6 years ago.

Something to look forward to for victims of multiple sclerosis with health researchers in the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal successfully undone multiple sclerosis on rodents serving as test subjects. This finding of their exploration is adequate to fuel the faith of people sick with multiple sclerosis. The fascinating thing about this discovery is that it is found by chance as medical researchers were investigating cancer treatments.

For some mice, life produces anxiety—where to nest, which bag of chips to chew through, how to escape human detection. To cope with such crippling panic, these mice groom themselves so thoroughly and frequently that they lick off their fur. These rodents develop bald patches and sores over their bodies. Even in pain, the mouse licks and licks.
