What Are The Symptoms Of Hantavirus Infection And How Can It Be Prevented From Spreading?

Coronavirus is wreaking havoc all over the world. Necessary steps are constantly being taken to prevent the growing infection of this deadly virus. Meanwhile, another virus has been exposed to the Yunnan province of China. In Yunnan, a person has died of an infection with the Hantavirus. After the death of this person from the Hantavirus, people of China started trending the name of this virus on Twitter. Users have started discussing this virus. Questions are being raised that these may not become epidemic like Coronavirus. Fears of infection of this virus have also started in India. After all, what is Hantavirus? What are its symptoms and, what are the ways to avoid it?

Hantavirus

According to experts, there is no need to panic with the Hantavirus as it is not as deadly as the Coronavirus. Hantavirus does not spread through the air or by touch. It spreads through contact with a rat or squirrel. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, ‘Hantavirus spreads by the feces or urine of mice. Human beings get infected with this virus only when they come in contact with it. In such a situation, all the houses in which the mice or rat or squirrel are going to move, they need to take special care.

People infected with Hantavirus have a fever, fatigue, muscle aches. This pain can be more especially in the thigh-hip, back and shoulders. In addition to this, headache, dizziness, chills, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea are also getting associated with this virus. Any delay in detection might result in spreading the virus to the lungs of the infected patient, after which the patient may have breathing problems.

Treatment

Hantavirus can also be fatal, yet there is no clear cure for this virus. The patients are monitored only through medical care and ICU. Oxygen cylinders help patients breathe. To avoid infection with this virus, it is most important that people with fever and fatigue stay away from mice or rats or squirrels. This virus spreads from rats and squirrels, so they need to take special care of it.

Precautions

The easiest way to prevent Hantavirus is to prevent rats to reach the houses or offices or living area. Keep an eye on the fact that rats should not enter the house. Keep a special distance from rats and squirrels. Hantavirus does not pass from one person to another, but if someone touches the eyes, nose, and mouth after touching the feces, urine, etc. of mice, then their chances of getting infected with Hantavirus increases. In such a situation, people need to take special care.
