I don't know why you'd ask something so stupid either. Geesh, really!?? If you were honestly interested in saving money the mouse would be in the freezer right now, so I don't think that's your motivation. Sounds like you just want to eat a mouse but know that it can be sickening so you want others to tell you it's okay. Hey, if you want a kick out of eating a decaying mouse then go for it dude.
