Help plz! can playing with pet mice do any harm if i am pregnant?

Stay away from mice: I think the risk of contracting some disease is much greater than not playing with your pet mice. It would be my recommendation that you stay away from the mice.

Mice: I don't know of any problems playing with healthy, happy pet mice. However, wild mice can carry Hantavirus, Salmonellosis, Leptospirosis and Lymphocytic Chorio-meningitis (LCM).
