Hi all! Has anyone here gotten LCMV from mice in the chicken coop?
We've been dealing with mice around our coop for the past year or so. We are trying to trap the mice, but in the meantime we've had droppings that I've cleaned up periodically.
I have since learned about LCMV and am so scared that I could have caught it. My husband and I have been doing IVF and have frozen embryos during the time I've been cleaning mouse droppings. I talked to my IVF doctor and they weren't concerned, and I will be doing an antibody test in three weeks.
In the meantime, I was just curious how common this may be. Thank you!
