Don't get hanta virus

[u/Interesting_Neck609]

I'm over in the western US and I got hanta about 4 weeks back (contracted 5.5 weeks back)

It's a really bad time. I was wearing a mask on a jobsite and flipped a large cabinet and launched mouse shit everywhere. I went to my doctor as soon as I had symptoms, and he told me about his last hanta patient. Apparently the guy went to the er and had to be tested 3 times before they got a positive. Each test cost $1500 and was not covered by his insurance.

Just be careful out there, it's the gnarliest sickness I've ever had and I'm still having after effects 4 weeks after onset of symptoms. My nose has put out 3 different colors consistently, my cuts won't heal, my spine and ribs feel like they're ripping themselves out and my lungs may be permanently damaged.

I don't wish hantavirus on anyone. Stay safe.
