In addition to irritating your home in the rainy season, rats and rodents can cause a number of health problems, most of which are deadly. Recent deaths in the US from Gantavirus affecting your organs has caused a conversation about a number of diseases that can cause rats. In addition, various bacterial and viral diseases spread by rats at home and other rodents. Among them:
Bubon plague
Bubon plague, also known as “black plague”, and its variations are among the most destructive rats. When people were bitten by rats, it is transferred. Millions of people were killed by this plague in the Middle Ages, which were allegedly caused by fleas that were transferred to rats. Rat tools can be dangerous to human health as they can spread the disease, including typhus, hauntavirus and bubonic plague.
Huntavirus
People become infected with the type of virus called the rodents that spread. Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome or HFRS is a form of kidney disease caused by gantaviruses that are common in Europe and Asia. Other hauntaviruses attack the lungs and fill them with fluid, causing pulmonary gantavirus syndrome or HPS. The death of about 38% of gantavirus infections follows. Early signs of this disease, which is tolerated by rats, include fatigue, fever, muscle tenderness, diarrhea, nausea and stomach pain.
Salmonella Bacteria
Another disease that rats can carry is salmonellosis. It is an intestinal bacterial infection caused by the type of bacteria known as salmonella. These bacteria are present in the digestive areas of some rodents. Thus, it is likely to contract salmonella at any contact with rats, especially from eating spoiled food. Many symptoms similar to the flu, including chills, fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea can be caused by the disease.
Hemorrhagic fever
Medical workers describe viral hemorrhagic fever, or VKF, as a collection of viral infections that affect several systems of organs, lead to significant internal bleeding and may be deadly. Basically it is transmitted by rats and rodents and is caused by five different families of viruses, including acetroles, philoviruses, buniruses, flaviviruses and paramixaviruses.In addition to bloody diarrhea, it also causes seriously low blood pressure, seizures, coma, chest and stomach discomfort, fever, body pain, dizziness, exhaustion, headache and rash.
Rat fever
Streptobacillus Moniliformis or spirilla bacteria are minus present in the urine, saliva and feces of rats, causing rats or RBF, a serious illness. In addition, other potential causes include scratches and rats bites. The type of bacterial infection determines the signs and symptoms of the RBF. Below are signs of a streptobacial RBF: a rash close to the bite of rats, lower abdomen and muscle pain, nausea and sudden fever.
