Thank you for telling me this. I was told no gardening, I figured it just meant no digging. I was going to go outside and trim bushes. Now I won’t!

My pulmonologist and ID doc both recommend caution. Here's how i do it with their blessing. Long sleeves and legs, washable gloves and N95 mask. Avoid windy dusty days. Upon coming inside, remove and launder all clothing, shower and wash hair. Also, remember that whatever is in the yard and garden is in your house if shoes are worn inside. For many years, all in our home have replaced outdoor footwear with slippers when coming in. We wipe the dog's feet with a frequently washed towel.
