You're crazy marmz if you'd pick up a decomposing pigeon with your bare hands.
When I was a kid we found a sick wild pigeon and took it home and put it in the bathroom. My dad rang a guy who kept racing pigeons to ask what we should do with it and he said just get it the fuck out of your house and away from your kids. Rife with diseases those minging things.
It's amazing how we survive what with all the dead pigeons in the world eh?
The scientists warn that infections, often carried in the birds' intestines, can kill or cause severe respiratory problems after the remotest of contacts with birds.
"We simply don't know the scale of the problem because there are no figures, and we do need to do a lot of research. There is very poor public awareness about this problem," said Dr Tim Wreghitt, consultant virologist at the Public Health Service Laboratories, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, and an international expert on chlamydia infections.
"Chlamydia psittaci is probably the most important and it causes a respiratory infection in humans which can be fatal and is often associated with neurological conditions.
"Some time ago we had a 60-year-old woman who died of an infection that she probably acquired from a dead pigeon that her cat had brought into the house.
