@twinn52 welcome to our helpful and caring group. I’m sorry about your new diagnosis of MAC. I don’t have it , but was told I probably did for several months. As you said, there’s a lot of info. I think the best balanced info is by Jennifer Honda, a researcher at National Jewish Health. Here’s a link.

@pacathy Yes. Jennifer Honda told me years ago that Oahu was tested for bacteria in the drinking water and soil and found it in both areas. Including shower heads on public showers. So what I do since I live here is to always boil my water and wear a mask when I do yard work and mask when I walk in heavy traffic areas. I do have MAC and Bronchiectasis for many years and control it by expelling mucus through nebulizing.
