Hello @windwalker . I hope you are doing well.I was searching through old discussions to see if anyone was commenting on moving to reduce the risk of re-infection. I live in south central PA, but spend months each year in coastal SC low country ( Hilton Head). I am very concerned that this may be a risky ( hot humid with lots of brown water lagoons ) environment for me, but do not know how to assess if I can mediate the risk( shower filter, boil water, no water activities etc) or is it just in the air everywhere. It is a beautiful place, but we are deciding if we should sell our condo to keep me safe.
I see you said you moved to SC and feel it was a good idea. How did you determine it was a good place for a MAC/ BE patient? Thanks you very much if you can share on that topic.
Terri, I admire your tenacity and bravery. I’m trying to work up the courage to make a move - thank you for the encouragement
