RE: Airborne microbes: Where do they come from and how dangerous are they?

Ahhh, that's a nice mouse study that you cited, confirming what physicians have suspected!
Now, that you mentioned the USA, I remember learning about various really nasty and scary fungus pathogens that are endemic to the Americas, such as Coccidioides immitis and Histoplasma capsulatum. I'm happy that we don't have them floating around in Europe :-D.
Maybe you can cover them in a post? They cause lots of lung infections and I feel like too few people know about them.

Thanks for the suggestion and glad to get some constructive comments. I'll look into those pathogens and see if I find anything worthy of a post.
