Saint Paul Rodent Removal Tip:

What are some symptoms of rat diseases in humans?
We all feel a little sick at times. These days many people are prone to go straight to the internet to research their symptoms, only to find that their symptoms might be indicative of a wide variety of diseases. It can be easy to jump straight to thinking you have the most serious disease that you find. However, if you have reason to believe that a rat is responsible for your illness, you may indeed have a serious illness. Rats spread some very serious diseases through their urine and feces, contamination of food, the fleas they carry, and (more rarely) through scratching or biting people.

What are some of the common symptoms of diseases spread by rats? They can vary widely. Some common ones include fever, headache, fatigue, respiratory difficulties, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Common symptoms are shared by a variety of illnesses. Some less common ones include shock, facial swelling, tremors, encephalitis, and hemorrhaging. In this article, we will explore some diseases rats spread to humans and their symptoms.

Symptoms of some rat diseases in humans:
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome: A serious pulmonary disease with symptoms of fatigue, fever, shortness of breath, and severe muscle aches, particularly in large muscle groups. Symptoms also include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and severe difficulty breathing. It has a mortality rate of 38%.

It is transmitted by breathing in dust that is contaminated by rodent droppings or urine, direct contact with infected rodents, and (rarely) by rodent bites.

Hemorrhagic Fever with Rena Syndrome (HFRS): HFRS is a serious disease with significant symptoms. They range from headaches, back and abdominal pain, fever, chills, nausea, blurred vision, low blood pressure, acute shock, vascular leakage (bleeding), and acute kidney failure. It has a 1% to 15% mortality rate.

It is transmitted by breathing in dust that is contaminated by rodent droppings or urine, direct contact with infected rodents, and (rarely) by rodent bites.

Lassa Fever: The symptoms of Lassa fever can be mild, such as slight fever, general malaise, and headache. In some 20% of cases it progresses to more serious symptoms of hemorrhaging, respiratory distress, vomiting, shock, facial swelling, hearing loss, tremors, and encephalitis. It has a 1% mortality rate overall but, among patients who are hospitalized 15% to 20% die.

It is transmitted by breathing in dust that is contaminated by rodent droppings or urine, eating food contaminated by infected rodents, direct contact with infected rodents, and (rarely) by rodent bites.

Lymphocytic Chorio-meningitis (LCM): The initial symptoms of LCM include fever, malaise, loss of appetite, muscle aches, headache, nausea, and vomiting, sore throat, cough, joint pain, chest pain, testicular pain, and salivary gland pain. There are usually a few days of recovery and then there may be a second phase of the illness. Symptoms include meningitis, encephalitis, sensory disturbances, motor abnormalities, and meningoencephalitis (inflammation of the brain meninges). Mortality is less than 1%.

It is transmitted by breathing in dust that is contaminated by rodent droppings or urine, eating food contaminated by infected rodents, direct contact with infected rodents, and (rarely) by rodent bites.

Leptospirosis: Symptoms of Leptospirosis include high fever, headache, chills, muscle aches, vomiting jaundice, red eyes, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rash. It should be noted that these symptoms can be mistaken for other illnesses and that some infected patients may not experience any symptoms. After a first phase of the illness, there may be a second phase that is more severe and results in kidney or liver failure or meningitis. About 90% of cases are the mild form and are not fatal.

It is transmitted by eating food or drinking water contaminated with urine from infected animals, including rats. It is also spread by contact through the skin or mucous membranes with water or soil contaminated with urine from infected animals, including rats.

Rat-bite Fever:  Rat-bite fever is a serious bacterial infection. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, headache, muscle pain, and joint pain. Symptoms may begin as long as three weeks after a scratch or bite transmits the bacteria. A rash may appear on the hands and feet. Joints are swollen, red, and painful. There is a 7% to 10% mortality rate in cases of people who are not treated.

It is transmitted by a bite or scratch wound from an infected rat or contact with a dead rat. It is also transmitted by eating food or drinking water that is contaminated by rat feces.

Plague: Plague will forever be associated with rats. Rats and the fleas they carry have spread the plague bacteria and killed millions of people, most infamously during the Middle Ages. In bubonic plague, the symptoms include fever, headache, chills, weakness, and swollen, tender lymph nodes. In septicemic plague, symptoms include fever, chills, extreme weakness, abdominal pain, shock, bleeding into skin, and other organs. Skin and tissues turn black and die, especially on the fingers, toes, and nose. In pneumonic plague, the symptoms include fever, headache, weakness, and quickly developing pneumonia with difficulty breathing, chest pain, cough, and bloody or watery mucous.

It is transmitted by the bite of an infected flea carried by a rat or by direct contact with an infected rat. Pneumonic plague is the only one that can be spread from person to person. Plague is treatable with modern medicine but can be fatal if not treated.
