Humans rarely catch the virus from a direct rodent bite. Instead, they inhale the virus through a dangerous process called aerosolization.
Dried rodent droppings turn into a fine, invisible dust over time. A person sweeping a floor easily kicks this toxic dust into the air. The person then breathes the viral particles directly into their vulnerable lungs.
