10 pounds of bat poop found above Florida official’s desk

We’re selling the house in Kansas. Hitting the market this weekend.

house.kansasIt fit for a while, and those were good times but, a rolling stone gathers no moss.

And Kansas is weird.

Potential buyers will not find bat guano in the ceiling because we had them all redone.

Not so in Florida, where 10 pounds bat feces was found above the desk of Department of Business and Professional Regulation Secretary Ken Lawson.

The find comes amid a surprise effort by the Florida Legislature to move 1,500 state employees out of the building this summer after reports of mold and other environmental problems. Pending Gov. Rick Scott’s signing of the budget, employees will begin moving out in the coming weeks and months.

“Please let the secretary know his office is off limits until the 10 pounds of bat guano is safely removed from the area directly above his desk,” said toxicologist David Krause in a Thursday night email obtained by the Tallahassee Democrat. “This poses an unsafe condition and he is advised that no one should enter the room or go above the ceiling tiles without respiratory protection.”

I’ll miss my kitchen.

Bat poop sickens ND courthouse workers

Bats in the belfry – or North Dakota’s McLean County Courthouse –and their poop has seriously sickened at least two employees with histoplasmosis, caused by inhalation of spores from bat guano.

The Bismarck Tribune reports the county has battled a bat problem for years, bringing in specialists to try to seal the old building, trap the bats and remove a thick covering of guano in the courthouse attic.
