Thanks @sueinmn for the response. I thought I had possibly gotten this when I was out digging moss and replanting it a month and a half back. So this has been building?

I'm doing airway clearance but nothing comes up. Just a small amount of mucous in my throat.

Well, Meghan, pseudo is faster than MAC to grow, but it still can take quite a while to cause issues. Maybe you had an earlier exposure, and the second just put your body over the top?
That's why I mask when digging and weed whipping if I can't get someone to do it for me. I know other gardeners with lung issues who do the same.
Good luck clearing it - mine hasn't come back for 5 years now.
