Bat Guano and the Danger of Histoplasmosis
Histoplasmosis is a disease caught when inhaling spores of the histoplasma fungus. This disease is not contagious from people to people, but the disease can affect many people who may not even know they are at risk.
Within the first few days the disease will first affect the lungs, and many times people with the disease have no or very mild symptoms. ย Around 10 days after exposure, most will begin to suffer from flu-like symptoms. With symptoms like: chest pain, fever, dry cough, loss of appetite, headache, impaired vision, shortness of breath, and sometimes even joint and muscle pains. With the symptoms being so vague, many have been exposed to the disease without knowing it.
Most of the time the disease will run its course, and most infected people will assume they had a case of the flu. Some cases are more serious. It can lead to long-term illness, that will resemble tuberculosis, and if not treated sometimes be fatal.
If you are someone with a weakened immune system, you may be more susceptible to getting histoplasmosis. Also, if you have had this disease in the past you are prone to reinfection after another exposure. This is especially true for those with compromised immune systems, the elderly, and the very young.
