We traveled and were transferred often. I was raised on a farm and gathered eggs from a henhouse. After retiring we lived part time in an area with lots of bats. The rest of the time was spent in buildings that had pigeons in the attics and heat/ac systems. This was before my diagnosis. And also a few years ago. I was diagnosed at National Jewish Research Center in 03. With avian Mac I obviously swept and things became air born. I was told that bronchiectasis can be genetic and I also have a CF gene.

Sorry to take so long in replying. I taught kindergarten for several years. Then I owned and managed a Christian bookstore for 20+ years. I feel like I may have come in contact with my MAC through our hot tub that we used for several years.
