Cleaning mice droppings?

We were cleaning my grandmothers house. We were pulling boxes from closets, attics everywhere. A lost had mice droppings. We were wearing gloves with garage door opened and windows too. Now I am worried. I know we should have worn masks but we didn't and cleaned for 3 days. We washed our hands all the time, washed our clothes every night and even the heavy rubber gloves. Do you think we will be OK?

    No, because you have probably been exposed to a level 4 bug called Tularemia. You need to get checked out by a Licensed Internal Medicine Center doctor. Tularemia is spread through water, a dog shaking off, a good deal of sources: cats, mice, water, and through the air. Their is no known cure.
