Should I sanitize my cosmetics or throw them away after the mouse has gotten into them?

They're enclosed cosmetic items like mascara, eyeliner pencil, single eyeshadows, etc.Should I sanitize my cosmetics or throw them away after the mouse has gotten into them?
Unless the mouse found a way to actually use them you should OK. You might want to spray them all down with Lysol to prevent any cross contamination though.Should I sanitize my cosmetics or throw them away after the mouse has gotten into them?
I see that you have other ';mouse'; questions on here.





Not sure if you own or rent, but I'd get the heck out of there and find a new, non-rodent-infested place to live.





The fact that mice, rats or whatever, are venturing into your make up drawer and YOUR BED is not good. They carry diseases, and it's most-likely they have had babies.





For your own health, and piece of mind, it would be smart to look into moving or at least making your landlord do a major infestation overhaul. They usually have people move out temporarily and tent over the unit or house so they can exterminate.





If you can't afford to move, you might want to ask your county's health department or someone with this knowledge, how to properly exterminate your home.





Maybe you can get a cat to help you in keeping those rodents away.





Like the other answerers have said: Sterilize the heck out of your bedding, wipe down your make-up, sanitize your counters---anything to prevent them from contaminating your health. Keep your food properly secured and covered too.





Good luck.
Wipe down the containers and if your brushes/applicators were in there, be sure to clean those too. It gives me the creeps to think of the little thing crawling on my lip blush. All of mine have covers or containers, but if yours didn't, I would replace them.
They're enclosed and they didn't bite into them. I wouldn't worry about it at all. Maybe wipe down the containers but that should be plenty.
