Hi Irene,

Thank you for your reply. I think that sounds like a good idea too. I have been wondering if the nodules I have could possibly be something bacterial or fungal because to my knowledge, I have not been sick with any viral or respiratory illness in about a year. Not so much as a sniffle. I have been gardening all summer, working with soil and fertilizer and some other chemicals. The granule fertilizer I used on my shrubs a couple months ago was very stinky and fine dust like powder when I was spreading it. I know I inhaled quite a bit of that before I got wise and decided to put on an N95 mask. It smelled horrible to the point I couldn't stand it and I could still smell it well through the mask. Now I read on the bag that it has nitrogen, poultry manure, feather meal, bone meal, and colony forming units of the following species... bacillus licheniformis, bacillus megaterium, bacillus pupilas, bacillus subtitles, paenibacillus polymyxa. The fertilizer is called Epsom Organic Evergreen Tone. And on the bag it says 100% organic and safe for pets and humans. This is obviously way above my pay grade but I will take your suggestion to heart and start searching for an infectious disease dr. in my area. Thank you!
