Case I was commercial bat guano.

"...On exposure assessment, he reported the use of bat guano from an online store as a fertilizer for cannabis plants... These cases emphasize 2 potential sources of exposure: commercial fertilizers and natural bat guano. Neither federal governmental agencies nor the New York State Department of Agriculture appear to routinely test commercial bat guano for H capsulatum..."

😬

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

It's mostly Idunna I'm worried about. The little weirdo will drink any water she can find, including water filtered through potting soil.

I bought a Yule cactus at Home Depot the other day and they didn't have any potting soil that didn't include bat guano.
