Ooh, histoplasmosis from bat guano fertilizer! First time I have seen a report of this here... Links to this study. ps. nothing to do with cannabis, everything to do with the bat guano.

I'm trying to figure out just how concerned I should be about my cats getting #histoplasmosis from bat guano in potting soil.
