Life Fugly Fungus
posted by on February 15 at 13:57 PM
A nasty fungus that is usually found in tropical climates is living up on Canada’s West Coast, potentially infecting anyone who breathes it in. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health warning after a 51-year-old Danish visitor contracted the life-threatening fungal infection on Vancouver Island. Doctors in Denmark found clumps of the fungus growing in the man’s chest. (Eeeeeeee!)
Cryptococcus gattii, a microscopic pathogen, was first identified on Vancouver Island in 2001. Some believe that global warming and climate change have enabled the one-celled organism to thrive on the island.
But it's snowing in Chicago! And New York! Climate change is a hoax!
I would be more worried about this if humanity hadn't already been wiped out in that big "flesh-eating virus" outbreak a few years ago.
God I hope it doesn't migrate to the Olympics
