Blimey, quite surprised you caught the little beggar :lol: A mouse got into my folks house once and it was a nimble little thing. Took a while to catch it - used a small plastic bucket and slid some card underneath after I managed to trap it.

You want to make sure you get a tetanus jab (depending on how long since you had one) if the thing bit you. Eihter way, probably best to see your doc to be on the safe side - there's plenty of things a wild rodent could be carrying.

Well that's your choice, of course :-) If he didn't break the skin and you washed it thoroughly afterwards (bit of antiseptic to be on the paranoid side) I guess you'll be OK.

There was a documentary series on recently which covered parasitic organisms. The mind altering ones you mention were covered and it isn't just pork you can get it from. Tests showed that 40% of all supermaket meat contained this organism (or maybe a related one).
