@ling123 True. I was trying to figure why some places are hot spots. I know that the southern region of Wis is the hottest hot-spot in that state and the source for water supply is from an open reservoir. Not sure about other municipalities in the other states. I don't think anybody has figured this out. I am beginning to think our food with all of its chemicals and crap is making our bodies broken. ?????? !!!!

@windwalker Whatever the reason, I probably won't move unless my husband agrees to move to Colorado with me (not to run away from MAC for for the love of the mountains). So my goal is to try my very best to stay healthy. The rest is out of my hands. Thankfully, I have not had problems with my lungs for the past 4+ years. Fingers crossed I can keep MAC away for as long as possible, hopefully forever.

@windwalker @ling123 ...I just read today that FL is the highest MAC state. I wonder if it is because FL is a retirement destination and MAC is typically an older women's disease. Are we "importing" the MAC cases here in FL or "manufacturing" them? Hard to figure...but I would not consider moving unless my case got really bad. Terri..I agree with your thought about diet...food certainly impacts our health and makes us able to either fight off or succumb to diseases.
