Hantavirus is a viral infection spread to humans via the urine or feces of infected rodents, primarily rats. The symptoms vary from a mild flu-like illness, including headaches and a sore throat, to more severe manifestations like high fever, nausea, vomiting, and abnormal bleeding. Certain strains of hantavirus can cause critical infections, potentially leading to kidney failure, severe lung damage, and even death.<\/p>\n
