Deadly fungus in Northwest?

Oh lovely. Where can I read about it? I’ve already heard about the deadly algae in streams 😮

I watched a video about it this morning. From what I saw it isn’t supposed to be easy to get so nobody panick :shout: 😀 but be careful, although they didn’t really say what precautions to take.. that would be good to know

Yes it can be scary. Especially when the media likes to exaggerate stories like this fungus one. Definitely be wary of stuff from china though. Their regulations are not like ours at all and they still use a lot of toxic stuff we banned a long time ago… and yet we still do so much business with them… ugh

Cryptococcus, eh? We have it in the Sacramento area; it tends to show up in cats very very rarely, and it’s bad when it does. Avoid snorting pigeon poop and moldy eucalyptus leaves; I believe that was the advice the fungus lecturers gave us. Far as I know, crypto falls into the category of, “It’s out there, if your immune system is strong and you don’t get heavily exposed you’ll be fine.” More of a threat to immune-compromised folks, generally. But avoid the pigeon poop.
