A member asked:
If you breathe in cat litter can you get pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: If you actually got particulate in your lung you certainly may develop a pneumonia or at least a pneumonitis. If you are just breathing the fumes i think you have little chance of contracting q fever. On the other hand, ingestion could carry salmonella, toxoplasmosis.
