you do realize that this particular species can carry a deadly virus (black plague) and you can be infected either by breathing air around the nesting area or by touching their droppings. If your bodys'immune system is very strong, you may only get deathly sick or exhibit several symptoms like a severe flu but will not die. sorry about such a negative subject ...but had a cousin die in NM from playing with one. Hope this one was okay and tha you are okay too.
