New Mexico is the epicenter for Hantavirus in the United States. Too bad they didn't have a cat.

Problem with outdoor cats in that area, is that they come across dead rodents and bring plague fleas back home. It happened near my place a few years ago.

Yes, true. And the Deer Mouse is by far the main carrier. Common there.

Fiends in Prescott, AZ & all their cats are inside due to predators. I would assume it would be similar in New Mexico. They have a problem with pack rats and you have to put lights around your cars if they sit outside.

The story of the hantavirus and why the New Mexico OMI was able to conclude it was her cause of death.

1993 Four Corners hantavirus outbreak
