Around here, it's common knowledge that small vermin carry disease. Bubonic plague, Hantavirus, Lyme Disease. That's also why we like to feed them Nosler ballistic tips.

hantavirus comes from dried mouse piss
lyme disease from ticks on deer mice
bubonic plague from fleas on squirrels, P dogs, gophers etc

Lots of people kill any snakes they find. Not me. They eat these vermin.

If you go to Disney, be careful, there's a couple of big suckers there.  They go by the names of Chip and Dale.  If you caught the plague off of them, you'd probably die instantly.
