First hantavirus death reported in Washington's Whitman County, linked to rodent exposure.
The first hantavirus death in Washington state this year was reported in Whitman County, involving a resident with known exposure to rodents.
Hantavirus, which causes a rare but serious lung disease, is typically spread through contact with infected rodent urine, droppings, or saliva.
The virus is not contagious between people.
Washington usually sees one to five cases annually, and this is the first in Whitman County.
Exposure often happens when dust from rodent-contaminated areas is inhaled in enclosed spaces like sheds or cabins.
