Super El Nino and Hantavirus

Be vigilant and take precautions. This year, we are expected to get a super El Nino weather pattern (increased rainfalls above normal El Nino). Increased rainfalls triggered the 1993 hantavirus outbreak on the Navajo rez (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Four_Corners_hantavirus_outbreak). Already this year, I have noticed an increase in mouse population.

Hantavirus outbreak has already occurred on a cruise ship that docked in Argentina, and several states are monitoring for hantavirus infections. So take care and protect yourselves.
