Mycrobacterium lentiflavin was first discovered in the skin in 1996, I have it in my lungs, it's is an NTM. Ugly sister by a different mister to MAC.

From what I was told, I got the impression that having MAC in the lungs is a bit better than having it anywhere else in the body where it may spread faster. So, I guess, in some weird way, we should count our lucky stars (?!). My mantra that helps me get through the rough days: "Things could always be worse."

Hahaha. Love your analogy. Is it worse than Mac? That's very interesting. I never knew there was so many lung infections you could get until I got MAC. It is so weird.
