Can you get sick from touching things that a mouse has crawled on?
this might be a dumb question, but whatever...
my cats chased a mouse in my room, and I don't know where it went and when I let them in to find it they just started stalking my lizard in its cage lol
I saw it run over my slippers and run in and out of my closet and all over, so could that stuff be contaminated now? would I get sick by touching it? should I try to clean the space somehow?
also, can mice climb? like, could it climb up my bed while I was sleeping? I don't even want to be in here right now!! help, please!
edit: also, by the way, I wouldn't want to have the mouse harmed in any way, I'm a vegan, I just want it out
any ideas?

You can't get sick from touching places where a mouse has been, no. But if there are mouse droppings, you really wanna clean those up. And yes, mice do climb. They can climb in your bed.

No i don't think your in any danger. First of all the mouse would have to be ill to begian with. And if you are still scared just wash your hands and the objects. I would get the mouse out because it can chew things up and poop. I suggest get it in a small containor by food and drive or go green and walk to some place and let it go so nature can take its course

They make live traps to catch and release.
It wont hurt you. I mean yeah they can carry disease but it really shouldn't harm you. Just try to trap it!
