Re: Bat Infestation
Please be very careful cleaning up the poop, you guys. Fresh bat droppings can contain the histoplasmosis fungus, which can be quite nasty if the spores get inhaled into your lungs. When I was living on the beach here in '94-'95, I had a family of bats living under my roof, in the section over one of my open bedroom windows. The guano accumulated at the base of the window and apparently I was unknowingly breathing the spores as I slept. I ended up very, very sick, wanting to die kind of sick, in the hospital for several days kind of sick and after much testing was told that the cause of the illness was what I'm sharing here now. Hope the light at night idea works to discourage them from living at your house and you might cover your face cleaning up after them. Judy and Felipe PS: We love bats and would never think of harming them.
