Bat Guano

Creature · Common

Bat guano was dug from caves to make saltpetre for gunpowder, in America from the 1780s and on a large scale for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Alchemists treat it as earth that remembers fire, and handle it with a cloth over the mouth, since its dust carries a lung sickness.
