Do you have a garden at your house? Do you turn over the soil in the spring prior to planting? Congratulations youve just been exposed to mold. Maybe you think it’s okay because you’re outside and theres lots of fresh air. Sorry but there are mold spores in the air too.

Our species has been on the planet for maybe 200 thousand years and we lived in caves and damp hovels for much of that time right along side mold. Yes, it’s certainly true that some people are allergic to mold but this whole panic about mold is irrational. But, Theres a way to make money off of unreasonable so…

Remember that little kerfluffle from 2020-2023? That stupidity is the new normal.

And, if you get down on your knees and diddle about in the soil you really risk exposure to Hanta virus — which is dropped on the dirt every time a mouse/rat takes a piddle or poo on that soil — which is like nightly.
Hanta virus is endemic to my area. We get a case every year or so.

“NATURE” is not friendly.
