Rodents
Rodents are know to spread as many as 35 different diseases to humans worldwide. These diseases can be spread through direct contact with rodents, their feces, urine, saliva, or through rodent bites. Being bitten by ticks, mites, or fleas that have been feeding on sick rodents can also spread diseases. For more information on how home owners and pet owners can avoid diseases from rodents, visit the DOH Rodents webpage.
