how dangerous is it to work in astore that has a lot of mice and their droppings all over the store?

It is disgusting, but from a biological standpoint, as long as you aren't running your hands through the stuff, your chances of getting a serious illness are very low, however if the mice are deermice, I would be concerned about hauntavirus (very deadly), for cleanup, I would recomend bleach/water mix (Bleach is one of the few cleaners that truly kills most bacteria, and viri), plus wear gloves and a dust mask.

That's very serious. They're endangering your health and they could start a fire. Make an anonymous report to your State Labor Bureau.

thanks for answering my question about cats\nbut why in the world did you get your kitty declawed? Omgosh that is so awful and inhumane to do to a kitty. I dont understand why. You know that they basically cut the tips of the babys fingers off, dont you? And that it is just to benefit the owner. Gosh, I cant believe an animal lover would actually do that. I am not being hateful, it is just very sad and unfair that you did that.\n\nWell, I am glad that you found out about what actually goes on with that awful procedure. Sounds like your kitties are doing good, I just wish the public was more informed of stuff like this.\nThanks for the tip about leaving cats indoors, I remember one time when my little girl kitty had actually caught a mouse in our house and it was laying at the foot of our bed the next morning!!!!\newwwww.  Yeah, I totally freaked out, but it was just where we lived in the country then, but yeah, they are good little hunters, that is for sure.\n\nto answer your question:\n\nsounds like maybe asbestos or some kind of pest control maybe has visited and didnt tell you guys, I would be careful if I were you.\nAlso, if there are cooling vents in your workplace, their could be other contaminants.\nBe careful.

You might do all those things but the other people in the building might not be so clean. Tell your manager in writing  give him a copy and let him know if the problem isnt fixed in a timely manner you will put your rent in an escro account with the local courts.

no. The mice I have are in the freezer for my snake.  However I have a strange obsession with dead animals.  I will run them over and one time while camping we fond a squirrel or something.  Anyway I kept throwing it against a tree and drop kicking it!!  Like I said a strange obsession!

I hope it is not your boss doing that. I once had a boss who would come into my closet, I mean office, and close the door, then proceed to rant and rave at me and tear my files apart and throw everything around, leaving a huge mess for me to clean up. I was scared to death of him.  That job lasted three months before I left, but it seemed like three years.\nIf it is a co-worker on the same or a lower level than you, can you go to your supervisor? That is not a good working environment, and could even be harmful to your health, mental and physical.  Until that person either receives the therapy so obviously needed, try to avoid confrontations, and see if you can get transferred to another area, or have your hours changed so you don't work the same shift as the nutcase.  Good luck with all that.  Take care of you and your safety first.

Wild rats can be very mean so my suggestion is to either call animal control and have them remove them, or a pest control company.  They spread disease and can hurt domestic animals.  Poison is to dangerous, if a dog or cat gets into it they will be killed, or if the rats eat it they can crawl to a different place and die and then the body will either be eaten by a dog, cat or wildlife and die from the poisoning as well.  Or it will decay and be a breeding ground for maggots (yuck) then you will also have the stench of rotting flesh.  If anything use a live capture trap and rat bait (usually some sort of rat food you can get at a pet store or some veggies) and try to capture them that way.  If you go that route, make sure you have some thick leather gloves (welders gloves are best) to handle the cage.  Their teeth can be quite long and their jaws are very strong for their size.  A bite would be extremely painful.  Best bet is animal or pest control.  Good luck.

Yes,  but you are just inhaling fumes not the liquid.  Shut the vents or ask the boss to get you a mask.  You should have the right to refuse to work because of health concerns. Call your local Labour office.

WARNING: This story is NOT for those with a weak stomach or those with a liking for meat-pies! Please don't let your curiosity get the better of you unless you are sure that the worst things you can imagine will not put you off eating pies for life...\n\nMy first job was as an apprentice baker in a large family run bakery. At first I enjoyed the job, especially as employees were allowed to take home and eat a great number of the bakery's wares. (I personally liked thier meat pies, and would take a dozen or so home each week). I often wondered though why only the new employees were taking advantage of this offer. \nThen one day I changed shifts to work throughout the night, which is when I first discovered that the place was infested with rats. I had seen one or two during the day shift, but they were chased out quickly and I thought little of it, but on the night-shift several of the workers would hunt the rats for sport, and on my second night of working the new shift (while selecting more pies to take home), several of the regular night-workers (including the owners son) managed to catch a live rat. \nWhat happened next stays with me even today...\n\nThe Foreman, egged on by the owners son, took the rat by the tail and dropped it into the mincing machine which ground the meat for the bakery's meat pies! The other workers were lughing and slapping each others backs as the rat was turned into mince-meat, then squeezed out into pie-casings. The pies were then covered, added to the regular meat pies, baked and shipped out to unsuspecting shop owners. \nAfter asking about the frequency of these events I was told that this was a regular occurance, which is why very few workers actually took home the bakery's products. I dropped the pies I had taken in the bin and took the rest of the week off, understandably quite ill after discovering the possible contents of the pies I had regularly been eating and giving to friends and family.\n\nI'm ashamed to say that I didn't report the incident, the wages at the Bakery were extremely high (especially as I was so young) and I needed the money very much. I continued working there for another couple of months, but never took any more products home.\nEventually I was head-hunted by another bakery, and when I took the job I told my new employer of the practices of this bakery. Two weeks later the above mentioned bakery was closed down after a surprise health inspection, and although my new job was with a respected and very hygenic bakery, I still no longer took any products home.\n\nI still eat the occasional pie, but now only eat pies that have no meat in them.\n\nI'm sorry if this story upsets some people, but I can assure you that this sort of thing is VERY rare, I have since worked often in the food industry and have never come across anything even remotely as disgusting as this. \n\nWere I the man I am now when this happened, I would have taken action immediately, but it was my first job, and I wash fresh out of high-school with little knowledge of the world around me. It is my biggest shame that I did not act sooner, but the feeling of regret and self-loathing that I felt for my inaction have been a valuable lesson throughout my adult life, and never again have I stood idly by when my actions could prevent hardships and discomfort for others.

Yeah I had a pet rat and i picked it up and it got scared, so it bit me. They are not that bad, they are red for about maybe a day and they are about 1/2 an inch apart, If you got bit by a mouse or a rat that was just in your house, not a pet, then you should probably go see a doctor. But unless it had a disease or somethin you should be okay.
