@tutti - Yes, it showed up a few times for me. The ID doc said it was probably contamination, and in fact a nasal swab showed it had colonized there. He told me this was very common, but "out of an abundance of caution", it was treated with a salve in my nostrils for a few weeks.

Thank you so much for commenting. Knowledge from someone who has dealt with this is so much better than goggle. Thanks again friend!😊😘
