:warning: Pigeon Droppings & Urine – A Lurking Health Threat :warning:

We notice pigeons daily on rooftops, balconies, and streets. However, what does everyone not know is that their feces and urine are not harmless.

Respiratory hazards Dry droppings become airborne particles that are inhaled, causing infections such as Histoplasmosis and Cryptococcosis.

Allergic reactions Prolonged exposure can cause pigeon-breeder’s lung (hypersensitivity pneumonitis).

Contamination – Their droppings can contaminate food, water supplies, and surfaces, contaminating bacteria and fungi.

:warning: Handling pigeon droppings is not a safe task if done without caution. Wearing gloves, a mask, and thoroughly disinfecting the area is a must.

Did you ever see pigeons roosting in hospitals, labs, or hostels? It’s time we treat this silent danger seriously?

Yes it can be silent threat to us cause the dropping of pigeons may contain large amounts of nutrients that are required for the growth of disease causing microbes and bacteria,we are susceptible to those so we really need to get rid of them as soon as possible.
