Question
Is there a reason to immerse in a mikveh due to impurity from a dead animal [mouse]? If so, what causes this impurity? [movement, contact, carrying]
Answer
Shalom Rav
In our time, there is no reason to avoid impurity from a dead animal.
Even in the times of the Sages, the prohibition was only during the festivals when one needed to ascend to the Temple and offer sacrifices.

What does it teach us "and do not touch their carcasses," during the festival.
