You could get sick, however, that isn't necessarily always the case. Hantavirus is a serious lung illness caused by exposure to infected mouse droppings, however it is not all that common.. According to the CDC only 400 cases of people that have caught it (not died, just caught it) have been reported in the USA. Compare that to the 60 thousand people that die every year of pneumonia.... The common house mouse does not carry this anywa. There IS a big scare going on right now about mice. If you have a compromised immune system, or have young kids around that might accidentally eat rodent droppings, or if your residence is absolutely infested with mice, I would worry. Otherwise, don't.
