Hi i cleaned out an area with rotten food and mouse droppings using bare hands and 12 hours later i started getting a sore neck and some flu like symp?

Skin protects you: Even if you used your bare hands, your skin is your largest organ, and the sole purpose is to protect you from the surrounding environment. Just as a reminder, be sure to wash your hands throughout the day before and after eating, using the bathroom, or doing work. your neck pain and flu symptoms are most likely a coincidence. However, if you don't get better, you should see your Family Doctor.
