Zhahira: I believe that you are thinking of the histoplasmosis fungi that bats can be infected by. The infection leads to infected droppings that can become a perfect habitat for the histoplasmosis spores if allowed to pile up. If the infected pile of droppings is disturbed, for example when cleaning a attic, spores can whirl up in the air and enter the lungs. Histoplasmosis often have the same symptoms as flue, but can be more troublesome for persons with a dysfunctional immune system.
However, the illness is not very common.

If the bat roost is placed outdoors the droppings decomposes in very short time, providing excellent nutrients for the soil.
