Never heard of that. Not sure it matters, but is your mouse wireless, or wired? Optical or track-ball? (remember the old joke about cleaning mouse balls?) I assume you have done obvious things like put in a fresh battery, clean out dust/lint, etc. Mice are pretty cheap, so next step is probably just to buy a new one.
I had to trash a keyboard once because of a liquid spill (not water), some keys were not working and others were generating wrong characters, so these input devices can be very sensitive to any mis-use of that nature.
