My husband, 52 yr. old white male, is experiencing some drastic changes in his health...First let me tell you a little of his medical history..his mother had a history of high blood pressure resulting in several heart attacks, couple open heart surgeries and dying of a stroke in her mid 70 s. His father developed diabetes, was Rx d with Temporal Artery Disease and after going blind, died in his mid 70 s...My husband currently takes 100mg Blood medication for high blood pressure and a 300mg twice daily generic for Zantac. He recently visited his Physician because he was having extreme pain in his shoulder and he had recently had (what he thought was Strep Throat) but after he became better, noticed that he could no longer smell or taste, and 3 months later, he still cannot smell or taste. after consult, the Dr. recommended he take a Steroid shot for his shoulder and did nothing about the other issue of not being able to smell or taste, stating that sometimes as we get older we start to lose these senses??? Since taking the shot, my husband has only changed one thing in his routine, he began working another job, that required him to clean bird droppings and dirt from bags of potting soils, grass seeds and etc. that were placed in Lawn and Garden Sections, such as Home Depot and Lowe s. He also had to handle chemicals such as Weed be Gone and Insecticides. He began this second job just days before taking this Steroid Shot and after the shot, he noticed he had developed diarrhea and now another condition of a rash.. this has all happened since around April 14, 2015. He had an X-ray done on the shoulder and was told he had Arthritis because he told the Dr. the shot did not ease the pain. The rash is located mostly on his arms, and legs, and seems to be showing up now in other places, chest area and buttocks. I know that bird droppings can be very harmful to humans If they are in direct contact with large amounts of it. Please help, no one seems to know why his sense of taste and smell have stopped and what caused the sudden onset of diarrhea and rash.
