Breathing the dusts that is formed by cleaning up the droppings is a health hazard. Wear a dust mask or respirator and rubber gloves. It is best not to use a vacuum cleaner unless it is equipped with a Hepa filter. Also wetting the dropping lightly with a mister will lessen the amount of dust formed.
