Let's give it a name: my mouse abuse needs a name. Here are the contenders: Mus domesticusitis Micromystitis minutus Apodemustitis sylvaticus Apodemus flavicollisitis And the winner is Apodemustitis sylvaticus. From now on it has to be known that I am suffering from Apodemustitis sylvaticus until I'm cured. The well read among you will know that Mus domesticus is the house mouse Micromys minutus is the harvest mouse Apodemus sylvaticus is the wood mouse Apodemus flavicollis is the yellow necked mouse Thanks to the Staffordshire Biodiversity Action Plan people from whose site I robbed the latin names!
