Bat control is a problem that can be dealt with. Often, bats are seen as helpful animals but in some circumstances they pose threats to human health. Histoplasmosis is an infection caused by fungus (Histoplasma capsulatum) found on guano from bat droppings and bird poop. When the animal feces accumulate, this disease-causing fungus grows and produces spores that infect people when inhaled if not removed promptly or handled properly during cleanup of histoplasmosis outbreaks at homes located near caves used for roosting sites for colonies of Mexican freetail bats according to research published in Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report issued by Centers For Disease Control And Prevention
Bats have been linked epidemiologically with several diseases.
