I clean my house everyday and i still have mice in my house and now its becoming a problem. i have a 1 year old in the house and im concern cause shes been getting sick a lot with fever but doctor just says its ear infection or throat infection and eventually goes away after antibiotics but shes been sick a lot. Is there anyway that the mouse droppings and the mice in my house could be causing her to be sick instead of an infection? also i called health inspector no one has shown up in nyc, i contacted landlord and they made it seem like it is my fault because we do have exterminator that comes every month but im a single mom and cant afford to take off the 1st of every month. when i did let the exterminator in all he did was put in a bait trap on the floor and recently someone came over the house and said it smell like the bait in my house, could that make someone sick too? i cant remove it only the exterminator can
Hi, Yes, there are diseases that come from mice and rodents, but believe it or not, it's not all that common.  And those diseases have well known symptoms and problems.  Fevers really are common in a baby/child.  If there are causes, and if the babies growth (height and weight) are at the expected levels for each age, then 4-6 fevers every year is normal. Bait can be poisonous to humans, but most exterminators don't use that kind of bait in a house with child Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
