I’m just gonna put this out there before everyone freaks about that cruise ship, MV Hondius, that had positive medical identification and deaths from hantavirus…
*Also, would like to let you know I’ve actually taken care of people one on one with hantavirus using only gloves working in nursing in the past 30+ years.
Don’t even let them try to make you start being a panican🙄*
“Hantavirus is generally not contagious from person to person; it is typically caught by breathing in virus particles from infected rodent waste. A notable exception is the Andes virus strain in South America, which can spread between humans through CLOSE, PROLONGED contact with bodily fluids or food.
🚨Person-to-person transmission is considered RARE and INEFFICIENT.”
▪️Strain Specificity: Only the Andes virus (prevalent in Argentina and Chile) has documented cases of human-to-human transmission.
▪️Method of Spread: Unlike COVID-19 or flu, which spread via airborne droplets, the Andes virus requires CLOSE, DIRECT CONTACT with an infected person's bodily fluids (e.g., in households, intimate partners, or sharing food).
▪️Risk Level: Even in cases where person-to-person spread is possible, it is not efficient and does NOT tend to cause large-scale community outbreaks.
▪️History: RARE cases of transmission between family members or during care for an infected person have been reported in South America.
▪️Why it's Rare
Most hantaviruses are not adapted for transmission between humans and are generally passed only from rodent excreta to humans.
▪️Prevention and Exposure
•Rodent Interaction: The primary danger is disturbing rodent urine, saliva, or droppings, which aerosolizes the virus.
•Safe Cleaning: Avoid dry sweeping or vacuuming rodent-infested areas. Instead, wear gloves and use disinfectant to wet down droppings first.
•Symptoms: Symptoms appear one to eight weeks after exposure and include fever, muscle aches, and severe breathing difficulties.
