LOL If rats get it, I still won't care. I'll still have zero skin-to-skin contact with any rats.[/quote]

There was an outbreak of Monkeypox in 2003 in six midwestern states, where all the cases stemmed fron contact with pet prairie dogs.  The prairie dogs had contacts with rats.  So, just because you don't have contact with rats, doesn't mean you won't have contact with something else that has contact with rats.[/quote]

I am 100% certain I will not be in contact with anyone or anything that is in contact with rats. How many people do you think have pet prairie dogs? You're really reaching if you think that's supposed to be scary.[/quote]

I never said it's supposed to be scary.  Do you think this forum is supposed to be your own personal house of horros?  It's an example of transmission from rats through a 3rd party.  And, since they're so ubiquitous, I am 100% certain you will be [b]in contact with something that was in contact with rats[/b].  I'm not saying that to scare you, I'm just trying to bring a dose of reality.[/quote]

All the surfaces of the new york city subway system come to mind...[/quote]

So, the rats are on the floor and maybe on benches, yes?  Are you pressing your exposed flesh to the NYC subway floor, or even a bench?

Wait, don't answer.[/quote]

Uh, wearing shorts/skirts and sitting on benches? Leaning against poles while you wait for the train in a tank top? Wearing sandals of any kind but especially backless ones (flip flops, birks) and taking a wrong step with your foot and touching the ground? using your hand to touch the railings as you go up the stairs? You don't need to lick the floor of the subway to have bodily contact with a surface a rat likely crawled on.[/quote]

Wow, you do those things?  Like, why?  It's the NYC subway.  [/quote]
