Based on the description in the OP's OP, she's actually concerned
about _hanta_ virus, which is transmitted via rodents. AFAIK, the
route of transmission is inhaling small amounts of fecal matter that
are present in the air as dust; doesn't seem to me that breathing the
smoke given off by burning some rodents is a likely route of
transmission.

In fact, it seems to me more likely that you're suffering from smoke
inhalation, but...

I AM NOT A PHYSICIAN!

(I swear, there's a Monty Python sketch in there somewhere...)
