I was tearing out an old old plaster wall, and came across a dead mouse skeleton... very old, very dead, very dry... and kinda interesting to my two boys. My husband says you can get a deadly illness from this sort of thing, I say hmmm... We all had work gloves on when we touched it, I can't see how it could be of harm after that long dead... Anyone know someting I don't? (besides my husband) :-)
