Does Histoplasmosis Cause Health Problems In A Heart Patient?

I have a BAT infestation in my house and have health concerns. I am a cardiac patient, had 2 recent heart attacks and now since being in that house have trouble breathing. There is something with a G that bats protrude, basically the Terminix guy told me in lehman s terms that I have bat shit in my lungs. What is that desease called? And also what else should I be concerned about?

Hello,

Yes one can have lung problems with birds feaces and also the fungus/dust in house. However, this is fully treatable and preventable as well. All you need to do is get rid of all the offending things in your home and visit your doctor for complete checkup and treatment if needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
