Hantavirus scare
Hello. I have been suffering with extreme medical anxiety for the past few years. I convince myself I have every disease I come across. I’ve been stressed about hantavirus for weeks now. For reference, we’ve been dealing with a mouse infestation. About 6 weeks ago, we cleaned out a closet upstairs and found so much mouse poop. I can’t even describe how much it was. They had been nesting in this closet. We sprayed what we could of it with Lysol, and wiped it up wearing gloves but no mask because I didn’t understand the severity/what hantavirus was at the time. There were some mouse droppings stuck in between the wall and floor and my husband used a shop vac to try to get them out. We’ve since thrown the shop vac away, but today I’ve been. It feeling well. It started with extreme back aches all day, Tylenol finally resolved it after a while. While laying in bed I started having chills and I go between a hot and a cold feeling. I took my temperature and I have a fever of 101.4 (I double and triple checked too). I have had a dry cough for a while because I have allergies but I’m really terrified this is hanta, especially with all the news right now. I don’t know what to do to help myself. I want to wait it out and see how I feel but I’m terrified. I’ve obsessively searched hantaviruses cases in my state and haven’t found any. Should I get checked out urgently or is it likely I’m spiraling again?
