One other thing that should be mentioned. The use of corticosteroids for two

weeks or more increase the risk of aspergillosis. The corticosteroids do not

prevent the macrophages from accomplishing phagocytosis. Therefore the spores

are taken in. The steroids prevent the free radical production by the

macrophages, which is the process that kills the spores.

so fungi may be changeing it's shape ,in order to get into the capillaries and

than make their way into the CNS.

by diffusion through tight tissue junctions ?

and toxins may actually be helping this process by increaseing capillary

permability do to increased blood flow. ??

and vaculitis also accures in the capillaries so fungi may be going out

through leakage just about anywhere in the body. wouldn't that be a possability?

several times during exposure I had tiny red dots on my upper eye lids, I fell

pretty sure this was vasculitis and with the second exposure they appeared just

about everywhere.

wouldn't this also be reason of why we may get cysts just about anywhere in

the body? fungi getting trapped in tissues. seems like a pretty good possability

to me.

and macrophage ingestion and phagocytosis to invade the CNS, if thats true

than, well, I can see where it's possable but it's just mind blowing. they are

actually useing our own defences against us.

makes me think of the movie,the body snatchers.
