Hantavirus Kills Two In Southern Colorado
Two people are dead in Southern Colorado from the Hantavirus.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment confirms one death in Costilla County and one death in Custer County. There is an investigation into how the victims were infected.
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome is a respiratory disease caused by a virus that is most commonly carried by the deer mouse. The virus can infect humans when they inhale dirt and dust contaminated with deer mice urine and feces. This can occur when people have contact with infected mice or stir up dust while working in or cleaning out rodent-infested structures such as barns; garages; storage sheds; trailers or cabins.
