Yes, it is possible to contract hantavirus from contact with bat feces (guano), though it is much less common than transmission from rodents. Hantavirus is typically spread by inhaling virus particles that become airborne when dried droppings, urine, or saliva from infected animals (rodents or bats) are disturbed.Key Points on Bat Guano and Hantavirus:Transmission Risk: Exposure usually occurs in confined, poorly ventilated spaces like caves or attics where bat feces accumulate.Other Diseases: While possible, the risk from bat guano is more frequently associated with Histoplasmosis, a fungal infection caused by breathing in spores from dried bird or bat droppings, rather than hantavirus.Protection: To stay safe, avoid stirring up dry guano, wear a mask, and dampen materials with a 10% bleach solution before cleaning up,.Note: While some hantaviruses are found in bats, rodent-borne hantaviruses (such as the Sin Nombre virus in the US) are the main cause of severe Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) in humans.
