Well, it certainly causes diarrhea in humans, I can vouch for that. I've
recently had 2 courses of the stuff for a tooth infection:-). Luckily it
didn't kill me. But as the gut flora of rodents, especially grass-eating
ones, plays a much more crucial part in their digestion, this would make
perfect sense.
