Primary prevention entails avoiding rodent excreta-contaminated areas, particularly in enclosed dwellings. Prevention measures include rodent proofing and trapping in and around dwellings and outbuildings, as well as instructions for how to safely care for a pet rodent. People should be advised to avoid contact with rodent droppings, urine, saliva, and nesting materials.[45]
