animal planet episode of histoplasmosis

[Guest guest]

This may have already been posted but I saw it tonight for the first time on the

show Infested on animal planet and I just wanted to share. A family got an

infestation of raccoons in their apartment attic and the fungal spores were

growing on the feces. The woman developed histoplasmosis. It reminds me of the

building I worked in where there were birds living in the attic, I was sick all

the time.

The original air date was Jan, 9th.

Roaches, Mice and Raccoons

Premiering Sunday, January 9, 10PM e/p

Despite our best efforts, vermin will find a way into our homes. A family

battles against an invasion of cockroaches, the walls and floors of their

apartment seething with the creatures. An Australian town is threatened with

extinction as millions of mice flood streets and fields, destroying everything

in sight. And in Wisconsin, a family is hospitalized after the urine and

excrement of invading raccoons poisons the air of their apartment building.
