Are You At Risk?
Aspergillosis is a general lung infection that develops from a fungus found in compost piles or other areas where bird waste has collected. There are several signs of you should watch out for like wheezing and coughing, as well as coughing up phlegm and an inability to breathe. You could also feel disoriented or confused or suddenly have a high fever.
With your pet birds, there is little chance of getting Aspergillosis as long as you keep the cage clean, but if you have larger birds or if you have a large garden that attracts a large bird population, there is a chance that you could see an outbreak of Aspergillosis.
How to Avoid Aspergillosis
The best way to avoid contracting Aspergillosis is always to make sure to have a clean and tidy garden. This is both for the humans as well as for the birds. You want to be sure that your animals are living in quarters that can be easily cleaned, and that are cleaned often, and you have to be sure that you dispose of the waste in a way that is not dangerous. It does no good to clean out the bird waste if it is still going to be left somewhere that humans might come in contact with it and become sick.
Be sure to see a doctor right away if you develop some of the symptoms of Aspergillosis and have been exposed to compost piles or bird waste recently. Don't forget to mention this possibility as it may not be the first option that comes to your physician's mind. Since there are various stages to the illness, and the sooner you catch it the better you are going to be.
Keep Clean
One of the best way to keep your yard and garden in good shape is to regularly check under bird feeders for lots of bird waste. If you see it, put on a paper mask (the kind used when sanding or using a strong cleaner), wear gloves and shovel the waste into a plastic bag for removal.
