sick request

I've been cleaning out an old storage shed which in the last few years has only been used by individuals of the small furry variety. So when you hear that I'm in the hospital with some undetermined illness could you please remind them that it's hantavirus?

thanks.

p.s. to the vandal boys who broke into said shed: repent, or Someone might smite you too.

p.p.s. to my reader: what is the difference between disease and pestilence? is pestilence fleas and ticks? or is pestilence what broke into the shed?
