This week on Rolin Forward, Drs. Alicia and Stephanie Rolin break down why hantavirus is suddenly dominating headlines from the tragic death of Betsy Arakawa linked to hantavirus pulmonary syndrome to the recent Andes virus cruise ship outbreak raising fears of another pandemic.

Plus: what to do (and absolutely not do) if you find mouse droppings in your garage, attic, or cabin.
