How do mice pass food-poisioning bacteria on to food?

Mice can pass food-poisoning bacteria to food through their droppings, urine, or saliva, which may contaminate surfaces and food items. When they scavenge for food, they can leave behind pathogens like Salmonella or E. coli. Additionally, if mice come into contact with food packaging or preparation areas, they can transfer these bacteria directly, posing a risk to human health. Proper sanitation and pest control are essential to prevent such contamination.
