Blastomycosis is an infection caused by the fungus *Blastomyces dermatitidis*. This fungus is found in certain soil and decaying organic matter, particularly in areas with a high concentration of wood and soil that have been disturbed. The primary mode of transmission for this infection is through the inhalation of airborne spores. When soil containing the *Blastomyces dermatitidis* spores is disrupted, the spores become airborne and can be inhaled by individuals who are in close proxread more >>
