Just imagine stories that abandoned houses, cars, etc. can tell.

I have never understood the huge fear of Hanta, since Mt started keeping records in 1992 we have had a total of 8 deaths!
8 people in 17 years!
I and many other 'farm folks' here in montana feel that the hanta fear is unwarranted and very rarely take ANY precautions when dealing with "possibly infected" materials because I have a higher likelyhood of being struck by lightning, or a drunk driver than I do contracting Hanta.
