The study found drug-resistant aspergillus fumigatus spores in compost and bulbs in the US, previously only found in Europe, posing a risk to vulnerable gardeners.
Gardening can release spores that immune-compromised individuals are more susceptible to, necessitating precautions like mask and gloves when handling yard materials.
The fungus, commonly found in compost due to its role in decomposing organic matter, can lead to lung infections in individuals with weakened immune systems.
Immune-compromised individuals need to be particularly cautious, as they are at higher risk of infections from drug-resistant fungi present in yard and garden materials.
