Hi @tinasims the idea of where you live affecting MAC and potentially making it worse has been discussed periodically in different discussions in the group. It is a great idea to bring this to a discussion here. I edited the title of the discussion you started to reflect that topic. Do you agree with this title: River Rat: Does where you live affect MAC?

Fellow members @windwalker @boomerexpert @irene5 @jkleimen @ling123 @lindam272 and @heathert have mentioned how where one lives or how a location may affect MAC. Some members also live in areas, like Florida, that experience flooding.

I also wanted to share this article that @windwalker posted, discussing how the greatest potential for contracting MAC is most likely from our water: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.est.5b00496

Tina, are there other reasons that moving into town attractive for you and your husband?
