If mice touched the edges of a bag of rice, is it safe to eat (cooked)? Why or why not?

They also chewed through said bag of rice, but only touched a small part of the surface of the inside.
To be clear, the bag of rice is raw rice.

Anything they touched can be contaminated- I would not use at all. Also – it is important to mask up when cleaning areas of mouse infestation – humans can get hantavirus from contact with mouse urine and feces, including if you breathe in air that has virus particles in it.
