As Australia’s mice plague destroys everything in its path, a farmer’s wife awakened to a mouse biting her eyeball.
After waking up terrified, the woman was brought to the hospital as tens of millions of unruly mice terrorized towns around the country.
According to the New York Post, she is one of several victims of the epidemic, which has been regarded as unprecedented in Australia.
Another farmer was deep sleeping when a mouse crawled over his face and made him wake up immediately.
“I felt a tickly, hairy feel as it moved from behind my ear across my face,” Mick Harris, who lives in Narromine, about 250 miles inland from Sydney, said.
“It gave me the creeps.” I sprang out of bed as my hair sprang up.
“I didn’t sleep a wink for the rest of the night – until I captured the mouse in a trap under the bed.”
His wife had a similar occurrence a few weeks before when she felt something nibbling on her wedding ring finger while sleeping.
“She was horrified,” Mick, 35, added. We have two small children.
In an attempt to prevent a prolonged “plague event,” the New South Wales government has procured 5,000 liters of the rodenticide bromadiolone, which is currently prohibited for agricultural use nationwide, the Sun reported.
