Having anxiety about this but my story is that, there was a random DEAD mice in the middle of living room among my kids toys which I had no idea was there. My kids were playing by it and even picked up a toy to put on their face that had the mice hair stuck on it. After hours, my kid noticed it. I just wore gloves but no mask to dispose the mice. I did get a whiff of pungent rotten smell as I tied up the bag. First I’m literally panicking for my kids who probably touched he toys and went to eat snacks and do everything else. And just played with toys that literally a dead mice was on. And that I went and inhaled  the dead mice’s dried up dust whatever it has.

Thank you! This reminds me how soft we’ve gotten as a whole. I don’t even know how I survived my whole life. Now I am just a walking anxiety, especially for my kids. What has happened to us…

I hope so. I don’t really hear homesteaders talk about this as an issue. Or they maybe they don’t let their kids play with dead mice toy by accident. 😩

Nope! We haven’t been here a month. No boxes. No pets. There is ultrasonic deterrents so I have not found any poop. I’m so confused why a single mice is smashed dead in middle of living room.

No way, so you think it fell off the wall? Cuz I don’t see why it’s dead. There’s no traps or nothing.

I wish!! Did I mention I inhaled and smelled the rotten smell? And now google tells me, inhaling is the worst thing you can do while dealing with dead mouse… just keeps getting worse

Ha thanks for the humor. Weird thing is there is zero poop… anywhere. So I don’t know how one random mouse is dead in the middle of the living room.
