Very unlikely: Hanta virus is not endemic in NJ.

Hantavirus: I don't know what deer mouse urine smells like. First - from 1993 when Hantavirus surveillance began in the US until JAN 2017 (latest data I could find) there were no Hantavirus cases reported to the CDC from New Jersy. Can be diagnosed with antibodies.
