Sue, if I remember correctly Terri ( @windwalker ) was compiling a list of us who were teachers or nurses or other healthcare professionals. I haven’t seen any posts from her in a long time and hope she is ok. And I may be wrong, but I think it was Terri who was collecting that kind of info - not research exactly, but certainly useful info. Irene

Irene, I think you may be correct.
Almost all of the studies I can find point to "lower socio-economic bracket" as a predictor, which would seem to preclude teachers and many health care workers. But certainly frequent lung infections is one predictor so repeated exposure may be the common factor, not necessarily occupation.
If I were still doing basic research...
