Re: ! RodentPro- Zoonotic disease warning !
I believe we have that proof now. It seems like there is no cause for alarm with the rodents going forward as they have remedied the problem (and at no insignificant cost). However, if you have rodents from them in your freezer, I would consider getting rid of them. Definitely doesnt seem like its worth the risk of infection; LCM sounds pretty nasty.

Re: ! RodentPro- Zoonotic disease warning !
I did notice that after I posted my previous response. To be on the safe side, I will toss the remaing stock I have in my freezer.

Re: ! RodentPro- Zoonotic disease warning !
I've read that it shouldn't affect the snakes, and the risk to humans from frozen is small. But, still, no licking or rubbing poo and pee on you, you know hehe

Re: ! RodentPro- Zoonotic disease warning !
I have 0 experience with rodent pro but I would like to point out now would be a great time to start a frozen rodent business while a main competitor is out.

Pretty much.. We all know to wash our hands at feeding time.
I take my stuff out and thaw it on a plate, wash my hands as soon as I am done touching the product, and then I use tongs after that.
This simple common sense practice ensures that any risks are going to be minimal.
It also reduces getting bitten. Snakes and all forked tongue Lizards smell in surround stereo, so they can home in on even the slightest trace of prey odour on your hands or fingers.
Good hygene is just as important as good husbandry.

How do you clean the plate before using it again?

Nobody is going to trust a new business right now. All this will do is drive rodent prices up and flood the existing big companies.

Re: ! RodentPro- Zoonotic disease warning !
Yes. 21% of the mice tested positive and none of the rats.they killed all of their mice off and started over. This is setting them back $1.15 million dollars. Again it is tansmited through pee and poop. So don't go tasting any of those funny looking chocolate ball that are left in the bag and don't tub the mice on any open wounds.
