Danger! Backyard Chicken Coop Deadly Fungus Threat (Histoplasmosis)

Send us Fan MailThere is a confirmed Histoplasmosis outbreak in Tennessee, and many homeowners, chicken keepers, and DIYers don’t realize how easily this airborne fungal disease can be stirred up around their homes.In this video, I explain:• What Histoplasmosis is and why it’s dangerous• How spores live in soil, chicken coops, crawl spaces, attics, and bat droppings• Why disturbing soil, cleaning coops, or renovating without protection can put you at risk• The difference between acute, chronic, and disseminated histoplasmosis• Why symptoms are often misdiagnosed as flu or tuberculosis• Who is most at risk and what activities increase exposure• Practical steps homeowners and chicken owners can take right now to reduce riskHistoplasmosis spores become airborne when soil or droppings are disturbed — meaning cleaning chicken coops, raking soil, spreading fertilizer, remodeling crawl spaces, or dealing with bats can all release invisible particles into the air you breathe.⚠️ This disease is reportable and outbreaks require immediate public health attention.⚠️ In severe cases, histoplasmosis can affect multiple organs and may be fatal, especially for older adults or those with weakened immune systems.My goal with this video is education, awareness, and prevention, so you can protect your home, your family, and yourself.🛠️ RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS FOR CHICKEN OWNERS & HOME SAFETY(These are practical tools to help reduce risk when maintaining coops, crawl spaces, and attics)🐔 Chicken Coop & MaintenanceLarge Size Automatic Chicken Coop Door👉 https://amzn.to/3ZA8hPhRoosting Bars for Chickens in Coop👉 https://amzn.to/4q4VEXtChicken Coop Expandable Mobile Chicken House👉 https://amzn.to/4q5NaPTMicrobe-Lift Chicken Coop Cleaner & Deodorizer👉 https://amzn.to/4bUbctt12-Inch 2-in-1 Chicken Poop Scooper & Rake👉 https://amzn.to/4a4fnkdPremium Laying Hen Nesting Pads👉 https://amzn.to/49YASCV💧 Water & Winter PrepLarge Automatic Chicken Waterer Cups👉 https://amzn.to/4aj85u0Chicken Water Heater for Winter👉 https://amzn.to/4bjvJHT🛡️ Personal Protection & Wildlife DeterrentsRespirator Kit, Full Face, Reusable👉 https://amzn.to/4k6X6aqBat B Gone Nesting Deterrent for Eaves & Overhangs👉 https://amzn.to/4k372l2📌 IMPORTANTIf you’re experiencing persistent cough, weight loss, breathing difficulty, or flu-like symptoms, especially after working around soil, coops, crawl spaces, or attics — seek medical advice immediately.Support the showCheck out Michael's book, "Crawl Space Repair Myths-Busted" now available on Amazon!Schedule a consultation: https://buymeacoffee.com/csninja/extrasNeed help: https://crawlspaceninja.com or https://supply.crawlspaceninja.com
