What to do if you touch a dead mouse?

If you touch a dead mouse, immediately wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to reduce the risk of disease transmission. Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, mouth, or nose, until you have washed your hands. If possible, use gloves or a plastic bag to handle the mouse and dispose of it in a sealed container to prevent contact with others. Additionally, clean the area where the mouse was found with disinfectant to eliminate any potential pathogens.
