Bats

Bats in our home place humans at a very high risk. Like birds bat droppings expose us to histoplasmosis. This is a fungal disease that humans can develop by inhaling fungal spores that grow on their droppings. Bats are also a rabies vector species and are viewed as the largest threat to spreading rabies to humans. Accidental contact with droppings can cause leptospirosis and salmonella. They also introduce a variety of parasites including ticks, mites, fleas, etc and the diseases associated with them.
