Answer #1

I think that it might be some what dangerous for her to be around that but if she wears a mask that you wear when your sanding and gloves then I think that you might be ok, but just to be safe you should probibly do it yourself. btw carpet cleaners help a lot if it’s carpet and if it’s wood or tiles then rent a buffer so it wont leave spots on the floor.

Answer #2

pigeon poop is not healthy for anyone .. it would not kill you but do not allow your pregnant frien to be around it … as with all poop so to speak … it is full of germs and it is best not to take chances when pregnant.

Answer #3

Yes, your pregnant friend should definitely stay away. There is a nasty and potentially very dangerous condition called toxoplasmosis that can be spread by animal excrement - including pigeon dung.
