New Pet Health Concern

There was a problem with a fungal infection on the west coast, years ago. It was linked to certain types of wood(mulch?) and a number of people were sick. It sounds like this is a continuation of that problem.

I guess the animals and people inhale the fungal spores and that is why it causes such a severe illness.

It is good to know which herbs are antifungal. I think the herbs can keep us from being over whelmed by an infection. I didn't know that marigold works as an antifungal. I know it repels insects.

I wonder if I could rinse the guinea pigs with an antifungal herb tea. They are prone to fungus and if the summer is hot and humid it is good to take precautions. Of course they can get a little fungal patch on their skin. That is nothing like an internal fungal infection.
