Hi Carl,

Opps, no that wasnt me. I'm in the UK. That must be someone else you were

corresponding with but it is very wet here obviously and is always raining.

The AC is most likely contaminated. For example, I had a case in Atlanta, where

the woman was healthy without respiratory difficulties. She purchased a new

luxury automobile and shortly after developed respiratory problems. Eventually

she was diagnosed with Mediastinal (central part of the chest cavity, back part)

sarcoidosis. The car and its AC system was tested and we found the primary

contamination was a group of bacteria in the Actinomycete group. We did not

find significant amounts of mold. However, since you live in rainy Australia

you should be concerned about two groups of organisms: fungi and actinomycetes.

Both groups have been associated with sarcoidosis by PCR DNA testing. The two

most common organisms are Aspergillus fumigatus and Mycobacterium species. If

you have the AC system tested, culture for both fungi and bacteria, particularly

gram positive (Actinomycetes) bacteria. The building that she was in or is in

should also have the same testing performed. I usually recommend PCR DNA mold

tests to determine the species. I do not know if these tests are available in

Australia. If not, culturing for fungi and morphological characteristic for

fungal species must be done by a highly qualified mycologist.

FYI, Jodie is in Australia. Not in the middle of the flooding but

near there and has had several months of nearly constant rain.

Okay oops. Both fungi and bacteria must be considered regardless of whether it

is U.K. or Australia.

Except one exclaims " Blimey! " and the other " Crikey! " when

either is discovered. Which adds vocabulary and cultural

complexity to further muck up the works. No wonder empires

don't last forever. Are we next?

I believe the answer to your questions is a very probable yes.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed it.
