A dangerous fungal infection, histoplasmosis, is spreading in Middle Tennessee, leaving one person dead and over 30 others sick. What’s alarming is that this fungus is common in our soil—especially around bird or bat droppings—so avoiding it isn’t easy. Some folks, like 14-year-old Eli Stinson, faced months of mysterious illness before getting the right diagnosis. Health officials haven’t pinpointed the exact source, and the CDC warns it’s often misdiagnosed. If you’re gardening, cleaning old buildings, or working with soil, consider wearing a mask. How concerned are you about everyday risks like this in our community? #Health #BodyHealth #Tennessee
