Today, I was scrubbing the bloody aftermath of a successful mouse trap off of my stove with an old toothbrush. After a few good scrubs, out of habit I put the toothbrush in my mouth while I turned on the water. FML
AylaMarie92 tells us more.
OP here. I definitely threw away the toothbrush after this, and brushed my teeth with a brand new, mouse-free toothbrush for about 2 hours straight, and listerine listerine listerine o.o I keep my old toothbrushes around for such occasions when there's a hard to reach, disgusting mess to deal with such as this one XD Thanks for all your comments, I've had my tetanus shot lmao, still going to get checked out by a doctor ASAP

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Guess you'll consider the non-kill traps next time, eh?

How come all the comments are sympathetic, and yet most of the votes are YDIs? Anyone care to explain why OP deserved to get a mouthful of rodent remains?

I see a lot of thumbs down for 58, but I thought what he said is correct - could someone explain?

That'll be one to explain to the doctors. "I accidentally brushed my teeth with mouse guts, doc. Can you tell me if there's something wrong with me?"

My guess, 78, is because he typed "rabbies" instead of "rabies."

I agree, it's because of the single misspelling. Buncha spelling nazis round these parts. I'm usually one of them, but not when it's an obvious typo :/

She is probably fine for rabies. I was bitten by a squirrel and got checked out and they didn't even give me a shot or anything. Always good to check though!

I think you mean rabies not tetanus?

94, squirrels don't carry rabies... just letting you know in case you get bit again.

113 - all warm blooded animals can contract rabies, so its possible...

If you really care, you can have the dead mouse tested. I wouldn't, but I like to live dangerously.

Rabies, plague, & other bad things you can get from small rodents..

Opposums don't carry rabies.

Gross! How did you keep from vomiting?

Squirrels do carry rabies, they are rodents.
hsRoseTyler5 14
Opposums aren't rodents, and rodents don't carry plague, fleas on rodents do.

#150, the comment was about opossums carrying rabies. They can and do. However, plague (bubonic here in Cali) IS definitely carried by opossums and squirrels (via fleas).
