Do mice carry diseases? My place of employment has a problem with them and I find mice droppings on my desk every day. Management doesn't think this is a problem can you advise? Thanks

According to the CDC mice can communicate diseases to humans by direct contact with their feces, saliva, or urine as well as by mouse bites. Disease can also be transmitted by fleas carried by mice.

Yes mice do carry diseases. You can go to the CDC for diseases for more information: https://www.cdc.gov/rodents/diseases/direct.html. For a business that is not a food facility, you will need to contact OSHA at 841-4132.
