Hantavirus at Yosemite
A friend recently inquired whether I'd visited Yosemite. She was worried because of the reports of Hantavirus infections affecting Yosemite visitors.
Some research revealed that Hantavirus is acquired by humans mostly by breathing aerosolized mouse whiz.
I can't help wondering about the scientists who established the transmission path. I visualize two researchers trying to keep track of which samples belong to whom, with one of them inquiring poetically,
Does this mouse pee
Belong to me,
Or is the murine urine your'n?
