A sign to heed
A friend of mine is wandering around out West with his children, and stumbled across a building with this sign.
Hantavirus, like Ebola and other really scary diseases, makes you bleed from places you do not want to bleed from. I, for one, make it a strict policy to steer clear of all such hemorrhagic fevers.

Um, from what places do you want to bleed?

I imagine it works better than "Do not disturb".

It is now believed that a hantavirus was one of the main destroyers of the the Native Americans & Canadians when the Europeans came. Contact with fishermen in the Canadian Maritimes, long before settlement, and the disease spread south.
