[AMRadio] A dirty stinky question

Sat Aug 24 11:25:19 EDT 2013

I'd second that.  I used to be blase about Hantavirus until I read that a guy on Long Island (where I live) died from it.  Then I read up on it and found that there is no cure, and the mortality rate is something like 30%!  So now any mousey stuff I clean up gets a good shot of bleach first.  The worst possible thing to do is to disturb the dust, then breath it in.

Hi Charlie,

Before you did any deeper you might do a search on the Hantavirius. It 
is transmitted via mice and rats
and can be deadly to humans.

I would think a bleach and soap solution would be a good starter.

nicely, the display board had a urine bath.  Does anybody have a sure fire way 
or dissolving or removing the rat pee residue from a circuit board?  The 250 VDC 
nixie voltage finds about a thousand ways to ground when you fire it up, nice 
subminiature fireworks display though, will probabaly need a bunch of nixie 
driver chips..
