Can a dirty bird cage cause lung damage to humans?

A few weeks ago I visited my sister. She lives 1000 miles away. When I went into her house, the smell was horrible. Aside from the fact that the whole house was just filthy, she had a bird whose cage hadn’t been cleaned in who knows how long. I had no where else to go (lack of money) and had to stay there that night. Left as soon as I woke and didn’t/won’t return. Since then, my asthma has been out of control. Can the smell (dirty bird cage) cause permanent damage to my lungs?

did you clean the bird cage? it is possible to get some unusual (and rare) infections from bird feces (psittacosis, histoplasma, cryptococcus), but only if you came into contact and inhaled the poop. Otherwise, it was probably just all the dust and general filth in your sister’s house that flared up your asthma.

sorry your sister’s such a slob! hope this helps
