Yes, there's a miserable amount of human respiratory disease going around here too, and wearing a face mask is a good idea, often. And adding dust from a coop while cleaning it won't improve anything.
Glad you're better, sounds like 2023 was a struggle for you, so sorry.

Good for you! I'm not that careful, but should be.
True confessions: now that I'm 'even more mature', our son cleans the coop, maybe three times each year. Coming up in March...
An aside: now that we have both poison ivy, and worse yet, poison hemlock, I wear that hasmat suit, gloves...
I wear a N95 mask when handling birds, or cleaning out there. Just visiting, not usually. A friend died of Histoplasmosis, and I have asthma, so being careful is a good thing!
