Spider: Insect hunter and mites in your home
Spiders play an indelible role in hunting insects and mites in your home. Contrary to what the majority of men think, the presence of spiders in your home is not necessarily a danger, but rather useful to avoid certain diseases. Indeed, spiders are formidable predators and eat more than 2000 insects a year. Therefore, it gets rid of flies, mosquitoes, fleas, cockroaches or cockroaches. Also, spiders should not be confused with insects. It is a species of the same family of scorpions and mites called arachnids. Insects usually have 6 legs and a body in 3 parts that are the head, thorax and abdomen. However, arachnids have 8 legs and a body in 2 parts namely the cephalothorax and abdomen. You should therefore know that spiders prevent you from the invasion of certain insects, including mosquitoes that are vectors of dangerous diseases.

Hantavirus, definition and mode of transmission
Hantavirus is a severe lung syndrome caused by a virus. It is secreted in the urine, feces and saliva of infected animals. Most often these are rodents. When humans come into direct or indirect contact with these secretions, the virus is transmitted to them. Ditto when they are bitten by infected rodents.
However, the virus is not transmitted from human to human, only from animal to human. This type of disease is called zoonoses because they can only be transmitted to humans through an animal. It has been found that domestic animals (apart from the domestic rat) and livestock cannot contract hantavirus so there is every reason to believe that only rodents can carry it.
Symptoms of hantavirus
Being a lung disease, one of the characteristic symptoms of hantavirus is difficulty breathing. At the beginning of the disease, the infected person begins to feel fever, chills, headache and muscle pain.
It is about two weeks after the appearance of the first symptoms that they are usually accompanied by a feeling of shortness of breath. Nevertheless, this last manifestation of the disease can be observed after two days as after six weeks; it depends on the organism of the individual.
Hantavirus can also lead to kidney disease or infection. And although they are rare and very few people are prone to them, there is currently no treatment to combat these ailments. It is therefore better to be careful not to contract them.
Spiders do not bite, but bite
It should first be noted that spiders do not have teeth, but are able to bite you with their chelicerae. Contrary to what people think, spiders do not sting.
