My boyfrined has some reptiles, and since some were not eatting at the moment he decided to keep the food which are medium sized Mice in tanks. They have been there for about 3 days now- can Humans condradict a virus or disease just from being in the presence of them? Im pretty paranoid even though they havent been too bad.

hi there
NO! we breed our own feeders ...as long as u keep their tank clean ... when it starts smelling clean it.. put new bedding in it .. captive bred rodents have no diseases like wild caught ones ... just like any captive bred mammals,reptiles etc... the don't have the stuff they get into...like the wild ones would .. ppl buy them as pets why would they sell them if they could have diseases and could transmit them to children and adults..think about it...

Your more likely to catch something from the reptiles than the mice. Lizards can carry salmonilla. Feeder mice are usually generally raised in clean conditions.

Diet Soda's are like poison, seriously...they are full of chemicals and fake things that are hard on your body to process. Also after awhile, your body begins to recognize fake sugar as real sugar in your system and gains weight with diet soda. You would be better off drinking regular soda then diet. Because at least there aren't as many chemicals in real soda. Did you know that when women are having fertility issues, the doctors will tell them to STOP drinking diet soda. That's how bad it is. It prevents pregnancy. Try Hansen's Natural soda or Sparkling lemon mineral water by Arrowhead if you want bubbles. Drink tea or coffee to get your caffeine. You can do it!

Mice transmit disease in a number of ways including biting, infecting human food with their droppings or urine, indirectly via the dog or cat and bloodsucking insects.

As long as their tank is cleaned regularly and you use simple hygeinic strategies such as washing your hands after you come in contact with them you should be fine.

They would only be a risk if were wild rodents or kept in un-sanitary conditions.
