Rape, sexual assault, sexual
abuse and domestic violence
are often labeled “crimes o f
silence” because o f low re
porting rates and social dis
com fort with their public dis
cussion and awareness.
This Take Back the Night
ev en t w ill h elp su rv iv o rs
know that they are n ot alone,
and that these crimes will not
be tolerated or left to go si
lently into the night.
O ur voices can shatter the
silence, b ut there is much to
be accomplished in the fight
to end sexual violence.
Crimes o f this nature con
tinue to appear in the news
in epidemic proportions-mov-
ies, m usic, and daily news
d escrib ed a n o th e r killing,
shooting; more abuse violence
and rape.

T h e firs t e v e n t in th e

T h e H a n ta v iru s is n o t

from domesticated animals to
humans.

quickly. Unfortunately, how
ever, the illness presents with
n o n sp ecific sym ptom s o f
low-grade fever, aches and
pains— that is, like flu-like
symptoms.
H antavirus is carried by
mice th at are n o t sick but
th a t e x crete th e v iru s in
urine, feces and saliva. A bout
10 percent o f mice in . our
area may be infected with the
virus.
The most common human
exposure to Hantavirus oc
curs during the cleaning o f
and working in spaces that
have b een in h a b ite d by
mice— garages, sheds, barns,
crawl spaces. The virus par
ticles dry and then become
sure to air the space out for
at least an hour prior to per
forming the work, spray for
droppings o r n ests w ith a
bleach solution or household
disinfectant. (Mix one and a
h a lf cu p s o f h o u se h o ld
bleach in one gallon o f wa
ter.) Leave solution on area
for about 15 minutes.
O nce everything is wet,
w ipe up th e debris w ith a
damp paper towel, and then
m op the area with the bleach
solution.
Also, take personal precau
tions w hen cleaning rodent-
infested area:
Use rubber, latex, vinyl or
nitrite disposable gloves;
Wear a particulate7 respira
tor face mask; and,
Capture and special care and
equipment should be used to
handle Kve rodents.
W ith the onset o f spring
and spring-cleaning, the pub

need to have a heightened
awareness o f this dangerous
virus.
