If you’re heading to Yosemite for an end-of-the-summer vacation, stay alert says the San Francisco Chronicle.  A second person has died after contracting a rodent-bourne illness at Curry Village, one of the national park’s popular lodging areas. Four people have contracted hantavirus this summer, a viral infection passed from mice to humans by contact with an infected rodent’s feces.
