Health Risks Posed by Birds
Large populations of birds can have significant adverse effects on human health and safety by carrying and transmitting diseases including encephalitis and toxoplasmosis.
Respiratory Diseases from Bird Droppings
Furthermore, humans can suffer from cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, meningitis and salmonella by breathing their droppings.
Damage Caused by Bird Droppings
On top of that, filthy droppings, high in corrosive uric acidity, from birds can cause significant damage and deterioration to air conditioning equipment, industrial machinery, insulation structures and vehicles.
Histoplasmosis and Bird Waste
One of the diseases associated with bird waste is histoplasmosis. Most infections are mild and produce either no symptoms or a minor illness similar to influenza. On occasion, the disease can cause high fever, blood abnormalities, pneumonia and even death.
Cryptococcosis and Pigeon Droppings
Another disease associated with pigeon droppings is cryptococcosis, which is yet another lung infection. Pigeon droppings are a common source of the disease fungus Cryptococcus neoformans in the environment. The fungus is typically found in accumulations of droppings around roosting and nesting sites, for example, roof cavities & ledges of buildings. Even when old and dry, bird droppings can be a significant source of infection. Persons with weakened immune systems, however, are more susceptible to infection. The disease is acquired by inhaling the yeast-like cells of the organism.
Parasites in Bird Roosts
Bird roosts can harbor parasites that may invade buildings. The common mite is bird mite.
