CAUTION: Bird droppings are unhealthy - even potentially fatal. At least sixty transmissible diseases have been associated with birds and exposure to their excrement. Prior to cleaning up any type of droppings, it is important to take all necessary protective measures, including but not limited to protective respiration devices, gloves, clothing and safety eyewear. Your health and safety are important: please seek professional advice and information appropriate to your situation. Never clean up or risk other exposure to droppings without using protection. Do not ask others to enter or clean up potentially hazardous areas without ensuring that they are similarly protected.
