2. What Health Hazards are Associated with Pigeons?
• Salmonellosis: Salmonellosis develops from salmonella bacteria, like what is found in food
poisoning cases. Symptoms of severe cramping, fever, and diarrhea usually appear within 24 to
48 hours of inhaling pigeon poop and can last up to seven days for mild cases.
• Psittacosis: Psittacosis is sometimes referred to as parrot fever. The bacteria responsible
causes flu-like symptoms over a two-week period of development.
• Histoplasmosis: Histoplasmosis is linked to a fungus found in pigeon droppings. Inhalation can
trigger symptoms of fever, coughing, chest pain, sweats, nausea, and weakness in those
diagnosed with respiratory conditions.
• Cryptococcosis: Cryptococcosis is another fungus related disease seen with inhalation
exposure to pigeon poop. This disease can travel from the lungs to the brain, leading to
meningitis.
