2007 Case in Oregon

From an article on NPR the first Oregon case is said to be in 2007 (not 2010), and a Duke researcher's report is said to be available in the article as well, which may be of interest to some who work on this article. BTW, hats off to all you busy little beavers that work on articles such as this! Having just heard of this rare disease today (it was mentioned at my gardening forum), I wondered if it might be listed here. Well, not only listed, but so complete and up to date to boot! http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126198896&ps=cprs Gandydancer (talk) 13:43, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

'Not contagious'?

This article would be improved by including examples of the mode of transmission. It is, according to the article, not contagious from person to person. It is inhaled. Then what is it inhaled from? Does it live on plant matter? Does it live in murky water? Is it transmitted by insect bites? Someone must know. Please post it. Grandma Roses (talk) 21:46, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Unborn child

Would an unborn child be infected if the mother was? My friend has just been diagnosed with this fungus and her baby had to be delivered by c-section. The baby had to then be resucitated, but is doing ok now. Is there a possiblity that the fungus would cross the placenta? 203.39.148.62 (talk) 02:02, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
