It's ok Thor. If it was one of my kids that he was joking about I would lose it but I don't take myself that seriously anyway. Besides, all he was asking for was for me to through some snot at him LOL

man, glad you are still alive!!
....your expeirience wasnt just a bad thing though,
you have taught many people here, through your serious illness, that Contams are not a Joke.
Thank god you knew what you were exposed to, many of us dont know anything about other fungi, molds, bacteria, etc...
...you not only saved your life, you saved many more.

Thanks for sharing that story 3M. One time I was in bed for a week and felt close to death after cleaning out several contaminated areas of grow space. I didn't have the same conditions as you (breathing) but it was still pretty awful, and I never went to the hospital for some crazy reason. I have had mono before, and this puts that to shame!
Whether it was related to the contams, its just a guess.

psilocyber,
for anyone who routinely has to clean contaminated jars and plates (generally bulk growers and spore vendors), i highly reocmmend not exposing yourself to them *at all*. this can be accomplished fairly easily through pressure sterilization: collect all the contaminated containers and put em in your pressure cooker, then sterilize for an hour or so at 15psi. kinda tedious, but so is growing mushrooms! another way to do it is to fill a tub of bleach water and open the container while it is fully submerged in order to trap any spore clouds.

This may sound scary, but, i think the shroomery needs a new section on its home page named: "Health issues"
Many newbies,(including me)and specially on their first steps in mushroom cultivation....arent aware of the many different dangers, that this hobby can reveal. I think this is not something that should be ignored.What do you guys think?
(i am concertrating on your good health 3m!)

Sorry to hear you got sick 3MShroom.
I use to clean my jars out once upon a time. But all those strange stinky molds and bacteria's started scaring me so just throw anyting contaminatedc out. Jars, lids, filter discs.. all of it.
Its not worth taking any chances.

Well it wasn't our friendly fun guys that got me sick. It was my gourmets that nailed me. I have a pile of spent oyster substrate that I compost for my tomato patch and my raspberries. It just turned out to be timing.
I had been doing to much and allowed myself to get run down and worn out when I got hit with the A Niger. For most healthy people it wouldn't have been a problem.
Incidentally I just got another 2 day stay at the hospital courtesy of the meds I am on. Had an allergic reaction to one of the meds. Small setback but I should be all better by this weekend...I hope

I've also heard of many people having respistory problems when exposed to high amounts of spores for a long period. Such as commercial mushroom workers, pickers, and dealers.
I'm glad to see some people have a sense of humour, even if they can't spell! ;)
