I just read your most recent post after the one speaking of the 50 bags of mulch.
My first thoughts after reading your most recent post and what came to mind "warm aerosols seen rising from a heated spa" .
So, here we are with things we have done and do for enjoyment and have now found ourselves saying to ourselves 'Who knew!" or "I wish I knew!"
I have the pool but not the spa.

To Barbara, @deborahuhrich and everyone else who has said to themselves "If only I knew..." - Remember that you have a rare defect in your lungs that makes you susceptible to NTM, pseudomonas and other issues - what you did was perfectly normal for 300,000,000 million other people!

So you can do what I did, and leave the regrets behind. I didn't know I had bronchiectasis until I was sick, so no sense worrying now where I got it or NTM. My ID doc assured me years ago that one lives with BE, but very few people die from it, so go out and live my best life - but don't inhale peat dust, or use indoor spas or pools.

P.S. My Mom had BE (and probably undiagnosed MAC
- she used to get pneumonia 3-4 times a year.) She died
In her mid-eighties of something totally unre.ated.
