hello i am looking for information to support my theory that working at prison with hospice patients HIV, TB ect these patients carried this bacteria and by taking care of them treating vent wing, bathing ect I contracted MAC infection , I am have no immune compromising illnesses except maybe the increased stress that came with the work itself... It dam near killed me and I want some one to answer or at least entertain the thought the occupational work attributed to the its cause. Thank you to all and any one that can point me in the right direction it will be sincerely appreciated.

@nick52, many mycobacterium researchers disagree with your infectiologist. Many showerheads harbor mac inside of them. That can be harmless to most people, if you have bronchiectasis or a poor immune system; then you are susceptible to it colonizing your lungs if you breathe in the steam.
