Rodent droppings are treated as a contamination hazard because they can carry germs. In homes, the key risk is dust. In larger or older infestations, cleanup follows biohazard-style methods with protective gear and sealed disposal.

Mouse droppings and urine can carry germs, including hantavirus in some wild rodents. They are not poisonous like a chemical, but breathing in dust or touching them without protection can make people sick.
It can be if the droppings are dry and dusty. Sweeping or vacuuming can send fine particles into the air, where they are easy to breathe in. Wet cleaning with protection is safer, and larger jobs are best left to a cleanup team.
