Oh lovely. Where can I read about it? I’ve already heard about the deadly algae in streams 😮
Here Melody, it’s not the recent story, but it tells you what they are talking about.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptococcus_gattii
5 of 21 people diagnosed so far have died from it I guess. It’s out there to read about. Google the Latin name for it. It isn’t pretty sounding.Melody wrote:bodine6127 wrote:I don’t mean to be a bringer of bad news but have you heard of a deadly fungus that is spreading up there?It is in our local news.Please be aware and be careful.

It is on CNN Health News and a story down here in our local news,WLOX News,Biloxi,Ms.

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

no doubt…
my husband comes across some of the strangest stories at times.He works with construction supplies and since the story about bad materials from China,he is more aware than ever,he keeps me informed.Sometimes he can scare the hell out of you with some things going on all around us.:oEvery act matters.No matter how small💞

Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.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
The only things I get from China are my smelt crystal balls. I just love them! 😀
If people in the US sold them on ebay, I’d buy the here. 8)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.
