    Though there hasn't been any current studies as this 'Virus' is still in its early stages especially in the diving industry...but this relative early study maybe of some interest..

    Most of us who went to "dry caving" are aware of https://www.healthline.com/health/histoplasmosis This stuff is easy to pick up crawling over bats poop. makes same kinda permanent damage to lungs. There are caves in central FL having 10ft barbed wire fence around with motion detectors and frightening signs to prosecute for trespassing. Nice caves too. But gotta have respirators to make over the guano. I always feel uncomfortable to crawl and see tiny white stems of fungi in the light spot near my nose

    Wife 1.0 nearly died from Histo back in the mid 80s. 2 weeks in the hospital. Anphoterison (sp?) the drug they used then nearly killed her as it took out the fungus.
