Now I will wonder if guano is a psychoactive.

Well, "blind as a bat" is a real possibility with guano around...

"Histoplasmosis is a disease caused when airborne spores of the fungus
Histoplasma capsulatum are inhaled into the lungs, the primary infection
site. This microscopic fungus, which is found throughout the world in
river valleys and soil where bird or bat droppings accumulate, is
released into the air when soil is disturbed by plowing fields, sweeping
chicken coops, or digging holes.

Histoplasmosis is often so mild that it produces no apparent symptoms.
Any symptoms that might occur are often similar to those from a common
cold. In fact, if you had histoplasmosis symptoms, you might dismiss
them as those from a cold or flu, since the body's immune system
normally overcomes the infection in a few days without treatment.

However, histoplasmosis, even mild cases, can later cause a serious eye
disease called ocular histoplasmosis syndrome (OHS), a leading cause of
vision loss in Americans ages 20 to 40."

It does look like a lot will be around...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guano

"It is estimated that there is only enough phosphorus from current
resources to last about 30 years. This is a problem as vast volumes of
phosphorus are needed to produce fertilizer, as it is an essential plant
macronutrient. Guano is rich in phosphorus and is an effective
phosphorus fertilizer. Use of guano for this purpose will undoubtably
increase as phosphorus, from traditional mined resources, becomes more
scarce and thus more expensive. It is a $1.4 billion industry."

Since Guano would be... umm... harvested... for phosphorus, I looked
that up as well..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus

"Phosphoric acid made from elementary phosphorus is used in food
applications such as soda beverages. The acid is also a starting point
to make food grade phosphates. These include mono-calcium phosphate
which is employed in baking powder and sodium tripolyphosphate and other
sodium phosphates. Among other uses, these are used to improve the
characteristics of processed meat and cheese. Others are used in
toothpaste. Trisodium phosphate is used in cleaning agents to soften
water and for preventing pipe/boiler tube corrosion."

Processed meat and cheese?  Soda Beverages?

Right back to Max Attack.
