Woman Wakes Up to a Mouse Gnawing Her Eyeballs as Australian Mouse Plague Worsens

As Australia's rat pandemic destroys everything in its wake, a farmer's wife awoke to a mouse nibbling on her eyeball.

According to the Daily Mail Australia, two mice may start a colony of over 400 mice in just three months, quickly multiplying to tens of thousands.

A mouse may live for two or three years, and females can begin breeding as soon as they are six weeks old.

Every three weeks, they may give birth to 10 kids, and the mother can become pregnant again the next day.

Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall, who announced the plan as part of a $50 million package to combat the infestation, claimed the poison would be "the equivalent of napalming mice" over the afflicted areas.

The mice probably descended from rodent stowaways on British prison ships about 250 years ago.
