Can mice have rabies?

Can mice have rabies?

Yes, mice can have rabies. However, it is very rare for them to transmit the disease to humans. Rabies is a viral disease that primarily affects mammals, including mice. It is primarily spread through bites or scratches from infected animals, as the virus is present in their saliva. In the case of mice, their small size and lack of aggressive behaviour make it unlikely that they will transmit rabies to humans. However, it is still possible, so if you have been bitten or scratched by a mouse, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Additionally, it is a good idea to avoid handling wild mice, as they may be carrying other diseases that can be harmful to humans.
