I am working on a textbook chapter that will be talking about Histoplasmosis. It would benefit from a photo of a caver up close and personal with (insectivorous) guano. If used you would get photo credit in the book. There is no fee available. If you have one you are willing to share please PM me.

I vote for Pete's shot.

Roger, I sent you a PM.

When we visited Lobatse cave in Botswana one of the concerns was histo- they'd had know cases from that cave, the geologist from the National museum while interested in our endeavour, declined to join us because he'd previously suffered through being pretty sick which was diagnosed as histoplamosis. We all wore masks and no one in our group got sick. You can see the pics at http://captnemo.smugmug.com/Travel/Botswana-and-South-Africa/Lobatse/1304588_hUoeR/
Except for the ones I've credited to Bill or Tom, those are all shots I took and have the originals of and would be happy to send to you.
