So, can the pigeon count in your neighbourhood impact health? If doctors are to be believed, human diseases associated with pigeons are plenty. "Pigeon droppings contain antigens which when inhaled trigger an immune reaction in the body which can cause lung fibrosis - a condition that stiffens the lungs and makes it difficult for oxygen to flow. If not treated properly, it can be life threatening," says Ashok Mahashur, a consultant chest physician at Hinduja and Saifee Hospitals. "The largest number of allergic pneumonia cases in Mumbai is related to pigeons," he adds. Infested with parasites such as fleas and mites and known to transmit ornithosis, encephalitis and salmonella food poisoning, pigeons are also listed as invasive species by a global network of scientific and policy experts.
