ALBUQUERQUE - Being exposed to rodents that carry the Hantavirus, specifically the deer mouse,
or their droppings, is a risk factor for contracting the deadly respiratory disease known as Hantavirus
Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS).
It is how two 20-somethings from McKinley and Torrance Counties died in June, according to Kenny Vigil,
media contact for the New Mexico Department of Health. The state health department also noted how
the case in McKinley County is the fifth reported death this year in New Mexico from the rodent-carrying
respiratory disease.
With six reported cases in the state, Hantavirus has claimed the lives of other New Mexicans in the
counties of Cibola, Sandoval, San Juan, and Santa Fe.
Sharing with others, our traditions of incorporating both Acoma traditions and Catholicism.
