mouse poop on buds

[vettesnvapor]

I went on vacation and a week later when i came back there was mouse poop in my stash pile. Anyone know if it is safe after i clean it and air it out?It was a pretty good pile and no more $ for a few weeks.Is there anything i can spray on it? thanks in advance for any info

 

[lwien]

This raises so many questions, I'm not quite sure where to begin.

 

[treecityrnd]

I don't think I'd touch that poopy pot. If an animal was in your stash, who knows what else (bacteria, hair, etc.) is in there besides the poop. As lwien said, I have more questions than answers on this one. Was there food in your stash? Why was it just left out where a mouse could get at it (mason jars are your friend). Don't want to sound mean, but I gotta laugh a little. I hope you will be able to laugh about this someday too Maybe combustion is recommended in this rare case to ensure you kill any living organisms in the poop when you inhale it? Did I just recommend combustion on FC?

 

[happyhippe]

Dont combust it in a joint or anything that would let your mouth touch the stuff. It could have e coli. You could combust in a bong maby but what if it had rabies. haha i would have to throw it becuase i found some just like it in a house i moved to. More shit than weed so tossed. They could have banged on it to, uknow little mice.

LOL Thanks for the info that's what i thought, i will toss it out. Treecityrnd.. ran out of mason jars and plastic jars,took the 4 i had with me on vac didn't know i had a mouse in garage..no food in there.Funny it only ate the center of the seeds and some stems.

lol I think it's a plant that grows outside. Mice quite naturally do a little bit of poop and piss on plants outside from time to time, as do birds, insects, et al, so in small quantities I wouldn't let it bother me that much. Maybe wouldn't eat that bit. If it's an infestation, covered in turds and most probably urine, then that's something different. But I'd view a passing mouse as something fairly harmless in the grand scheme and I'd perhaps just toss the directly poopy bit, but probably only that bit, and try not to think of all the real but unlikely possibilities. Unless your a medical user with immunity concerns of course.

Incidentally I've had 6 !!! mice in my traps over this weekend- the first since last winter. I live in an old stone hand built farmhouse so they're to be expected, but this is plague proportions. The remnants of hurricane Irene arrived here (it's just a wet low pressure now), and I think that's maybe driven them inside. Or just a sign that summer is drawing to an end- it's quite autumnal here by now. I'll be catching one every week or two from now until spring, but I can't bring myself to poison them- firstly I'll never win long term, but more significantly I had two lovely Labrador's which ate some poison that a gamekeeper had left for a fox (highly illegal), and seeing the trauma my dogs went through (one died, the vet saved one at great effort but he was never the same again) I vowed never to poison anything, at least not orally (I could perhaps do gas).

 

[treecityrnd]

At least the mouse had a great vacation too!

Hippe says, "They could have banged on it". That's classic. Quote of the day.

you can get hantavirus from mouse shit can't you?

yes you can it seems...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hantavirus

Humans may be infected with hantaviruses through rodent bites, urine, saliva or contact with rodent waste products. Some hantaviruses cause potentially fatal diseases in humans, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), but others have not been associated with human disease. HPS cannot be transmitted person-to-person.

shiiiiit i woulda done been enjoying that herb, esp if it was some fire.

Anyone see the lab test MI did on schwag, they found mold, insects, poop and extremely high pesticide levels. Ive probably smoked worse then fresh mouse poop before lol.

There you go!!!!

 

[charliedontsurf]

Wow, great article. 22X the allowable amount of permethrins... Holy shit.

While it's not in the spirit of this forum, if I were truly strapped for cash and that's all I had, then I would clean it the best I could and then smoke it. Flame will destroy anything harmful - I think. Hippie is right to advise against a joint. Use a full glass piece, with a screen in the bowl, and clean the thing when you're done. You could also probably do an iso wash safely as the alcohol would effectively sterilize it, or even a crude cold-water extraction. Whatever you do, don't eat it, in any form.

Get some glue traps and show them never to fuck with your stash again! J/k Don't buy glue traps, those things are evil.

I agree about the "hanta-virus " .
As a former exterminator I had to add my .

Fact :
Domestic rodents eat and poop at the same time in the same area they are dining .
Sometimes the poop is still hanging out from their rear while they're eating and moving
around . ( I know I just grossed out everyone ) .
So are you sure that is the only contaminated bud ???
And yes , they prefer the seeds than the bud part .

And try not to by herbs with seeds .

 

[Qbit]

Well, if they've been eating your weed, then I'd smoke the shit - it might be like hash.

This reminds me of Cheech & Chong. I think it was Up In Smoke where they're driving along and Cheech says "man, this is some good shit.... what kind is it?" to which Chong replies "mostly Doberman."

Hey, what's in
this shit, man?

Mostly Maui-wowie,
man.

Yeah?

But it's got
some Labrador in it.

What's Labrador?

It's dog shit.

Love that movie,takes me right back.


Sorry completely forgot the on-topic reply i started out to type.

I wouldn't be so worried about the poop,which you can see,as the urine,which you might not.
Trashcan it would be alas.
Alcohol might kill living organisms btw,but will not make a difference in toxins already present,so i'd take no chances with this.

 

[Qbit]

Well you could do a water cure, though I don't know that it would help with bacteria and stuff.

 

[bruno13]

Why take the chance? Toss it.

If you really need the collective power of the interwebs for this, my recommendation is for you to vape or smoke it. Let the sweet siren-like call of the hantavirus lead you directly to the head of the packof the 2011 Darwin Award contenders. If you are really that cash strapped, you shouldn't be on the interwebs. Cancel your internet service and buy some non-hantavirus ladden schwagg.

Really...seriously..?!?!?! WTF
Maybe we should consider a sticky, alerting others that if their stash is invaded by diseased vermin, and shat upon, not to vape or smoke it. Some people are so cash strapped that they can't afford regs AND common effin sense.

[weedemon]

haha that last post while a bit harsh sure did make me laugh

 

[charliedontsurf]

SMOKING, that is combusting at high temperatures, should completely murdalize any harmful bacteria or viruses.

People smoke moldy herb all the time which would kill them if ingested.

How do people get hantavirus pulmonary syndrome?
"Wild rodents spread HPS to people. The Sin Nombre virus is passed in the saliva, urine, and droppings of infected rodents. The virus can live for a few days in contaminated dirt and dust. People are infected when they breathe in tiny particles of these materials in dust from places where rodents are living and active. People can also be infected by handling contaminated materials and then touching the mouth or nose."

CDS---The moldy herb debate could go on forever, but has no merit here at all. Where is the scientific data to say no health issues with smoking, handling, breathing moldy herb. We are all so demanding of accurate vape data(ie., specs, materials, vapor path, etc), which is really cool around here and very informative that it blows my mind that we would allow others to serve up conjecture and misinformation on something like miceshitschwagg. If op asked a hypothetical question then conjecture is fine to discuss, but they are asking for real.

Go right ahead and touch the affected herb, put in your bowl/bong/papers making sure not to breathe in any minute HPS particles, or touch ur mouth or nose during or after you are stoned...my point is why take the effin chance or why tell the op to even take a chance. All the peeps freaking over Solo "electronics" smell and "is the air from my vape going over electrical components" and then people tell op to go ahead and smoke miceshitschwagg(which is not a real strain btw op)?!?!?!

If op asked if they should buy a NO2, alarms and sirens would of went off around here, but yea op, go smoke miceshtschwagg.

Even the article states, "Our leaders need to be reminded that the MMMAct was intended to provide patients with safe access to safe medicine, " so it sounds like all that shit on detroits weed is NOT SAFE.

Weedemon--while you're laughing, I am crying on the inside lol

End of rant. Close this thread.
I'm outta here... ////knocks over mike stand on way down from high horse////

That's assuming the OP has no offspring already of course.

Although seeming a bit harsh even with the humor added,Silver420Surfer has got a very good point of course.
In cases like these...Just say no!

 

[WatTyler]

Nope, I still say cobblers. Why such paranoid fear of mice? Put it into perspective. No need to panic. It's a very nasty virus, fair enough to be scared of the virus, but statistically in the USA you have FAR more chance of getting hit and killed by lightning than you do of catching the hantavirus. It is rare. 529 cases since 1993. Just 201 deaths in nearly 20 years. Out of how many millions of people? Not quite a sure path to the Darwin awards, eh?

Whilst there is a real but minimal risk, I'd be far more worried about salmonella (that said, my partner has pet bearded dragons which are infamous carriers of salmonella, and more of a risk than any mice, but I've still never caught it). It's when you have mice infestations that disease becomes a real problem and all the viruses increase and spread amongst the community of mice, thus increasing the chance of transfer to humans. Evidence of just one mouse, whilst unwelcome, doesn't panic me (ok, I'm still not going to lick its butt). An infestation does far more. Mice and humans will always coexist, and I think if you applied a scorched earth policy towards everything a single mouse had ever been near you might not have much left. I'd certainly be doing something with the unaffected portion of the stash (I'd probably make tasty brownies- with chocolate chips ).

It all comes down to how risk averse a person you are. If you're that risk averse enough to hold a real fear of death over contact with a mouse, then certainly don't take to the roads. And certainly don't question the sources of natural and organic food- in the practical world mice are controlled rather than eradicated, regardless of whatever relevant regulations give you comfort.
