I think we can all feel comfortable describing this sort of scheme as -- I'll leave out exactly two words -- insane:
Bro, how blitzed do you have to be to decide to use bat poop to fertilize your weed plants? Like, at that point you don't even need more marijuana!
Anyhow, I just want to stress this point: If you have the urge to handle bat poop for any reason ...
...because you'll very likely end up like these fellows:
Two New York men have died after contracting a rare fungal infection from the bat feces they used to fertilize their marijuana plants.
The men, both of Rochester, were cultivating cannabis for personal use when their health started to deteriorate, according a case published in the journal, Open Forum Infectious Diseases.
The two fellows — already weakened by years of tobacco and marijuana consumption — were admitted to local hospitals with matching histoplasmosis infections, which are often associated with breathing in spores from bat dookie.
Once in the hospital, one fellow copped to having handled bat feces in his home:
He told doctors there was 'a heavy bat infestation of his attic,' which, as a result, was covered in bat feces, or guano. He said he decided to use the waste to fertilize his marijuana, and then relayed his plan to the 59-year-old, who purchased his own guano online.
The 59-year-old quickly succumbed to the infection, while his friend "was released from the hospital after treatment, but he returned a month later and died shortly thereafter."
Moral of the story: Don't handle bat poop, ever.
(Also don't do drugs.)
