That it contains a bacteria that can infect., injure and kill animals and people is a reason why bat guano can be considered poisonous.

Specifically, a poison causes mild, moderate or severe reactions through absorption. Bat guano is known to harbor Histoplasma capsulatum. The fungus may result in histoplasmosis of the lungs and other organs. It will be fatal if left untreated.
