Interesting you have the bird connection. I too blame birds. 12 years ago I had 6-8 pigeons make a home in my small horse barn and they made a mess for 2 years. I power washed repeatedly without any face covering. Then the symptoms started to appear.

@mikemolnar45 & @rstel7272 I'm pretty sure (as was my ID doc) that my MAC came from feral chickens nesting in my winter yard/garden where I worked extensively without a mask. So I hired out that work & disappeared while it was being done, until the guy finished, washed down the area & it dried. 5 years later, the chickens are long gone and I am cautiously working out there again (in a mask.) So far, so good.
We have been told for over 30 years "no birds" because of asthma & now bronch. My daughter broke the rule for a while in her foolish 20's, but has since some to her senses. I must admit I miss her sweet bird, a little green parrot.
Oh the things we learn as we grow older...after some of the stuff I was exposed to as a kid and in the workplace, I'm amazed to be alive.
