Hantavirus - thus my concern about having a mouseguest. Poop and pee and nibbled-on wires and food are bad enough already, but I don't need hantavirus. Not that anyone really needs hantavirus.

House mice and deer mice (both common in the kinds of situations described) carry Hanta virus, a deadly respiratory infection (death rate in people around 50% in the U.S.).  The virus passes in their feces and urine.  When cleaning up places mice frequent, one should wear proper protection and use bleach.
