I'm really concerned about something I read recently regarding pigeons and lung health. It mentioned that pigeons can cause lung disease, including bronchitis and lung infections. Could you explain how this happens? Do pigeons release some kind of acid that's harmful to us when we breathe in? I'm just trying to understand why this might trigger such issues with our lungs.

Yes,avoid contact with the pigeons.

I'm really worried because my pulmonologist mentioned something about "allergic airway disease" after my PFT test. I don't really understand what that is. Is it serious? Also, the doctor prescribed me Ofloxacin O2 tablets and Fexodine tablets. Can you explain what these medications are for and if I should be concerned about taking them?
