Typically, it is safe, if you know where it comes from. Most people have no issues. This is why I say that I cannot diagnose anything medical, because it is not common. There is a risk for those that are immune-compromised, but to answer your question. No, it is not common. This would be something for the medical community to look at, since this deals with more of the immune deficiency side of things. The other problem could be where they were sourced. Most parts of the world go through strict processing, so unless it was obtained from an unlicensed source, it of little danger to the average person.

We cannot answer any medical questions. I would talk to your doctor, as they can help you and test for what the problem may be. Poultry of any sort can be a vector for contamination if it sits out for long enough without getting eating. Outside of that, I cannot really help with the medical side of things.
I was not asking you to help with my medical problem.I had already talked to my doctor about this subject. What I was asking was purely a gardening question about how safe it was to use Chicken pellets or chicken manure and make other gardners awear of what could be a problem.
What we put on our gardens and allotments effects everyone. I am sure many gardeners
Will at some point suffer with unknown issues which may well be connected to gardening.
Rashes skin irritation and more serious health problems. Which stem from what we use in out gardens..If chicken pellets or chicken manure has harmful properties many gardeners may not understand how these can affect your health..
My question was just a topic I thought may help others..
Thank you for your reply anyway..
