There are certain parts of the country where Hanta virus from mice is more of a problem -- like the Southwest. You can ask your doctor if it's a problem in your area. Full Hazmat gear (supplied air respirator, suit, etc). is probably not necessary in most situations, but a good dust mask/cartridge respirator is really a good idea in any case.
Someone on the list a few years ago posted that he had gone to a local community college to take some evening auto body classes. I finally did that, and one of the most useful things I learned was how and when to use all that PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). I got used to working with it and now would never consider doing the stupid stuff I used to do -- like grinding without a full face shield and leather gloves, etc. Alan 50 Chevy 1/2 ton Denver, CO ----- Original Message ----- From: Jonathan Leishear To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 11:54 AM Subject: Re: [old-chevy-truck] Today's doings---WAKE UP CALL/rodents I had mice in an old car. I'm thinking from the looks of things, evidence-wise, that they got inside the seats. I guess when I pull them to have my son re-upholster them I should have him wear protective clothing when he's cutting off/up the old material. I saw them in the trunk and gutted that down to the steel. I have engine work and torque converter work to do but I guess it would pay to pull the seats early on and just gut all that fabric, stuffing, batting, etc. Jon L. --- charles olson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, small animals can get into areas we can't even > see.
