Toxic might not be the right word, but mice feces can carry disease. Mice can carry toxoplasmosis and if a cat eats an infected mouse, it can contract toxoplasmosis. Then if humans clean the litter box of a cat with toxoplasmosis, humans can contract it too, and it is particularly a risk for pregnant women, since it can cause birth defects in humans.

But overall, rodent feces is not necessarily toxic, just unsanitary, with the possibility of spreading disease.

Wild mouse poop may be harmful, & even some pet mouse poo can be harmful, as they can carry parasites. A well cared for pet mouse won't carry parasite.
