"It's important for people to understand the potential health problem caused by bird guano, or bird droppings. There are 44 diseases known to be caused by the inhalation of the fungus spores that form in the droppings. Eleven of these are fatal. Two of the most common are histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis."
