Question

how does fungi affect workers in wool industry

Answer 1

The workers get affected by sorter's disease during sorting . This is a deadly blood disease caused by bacteria anthrax . Besides anthrax fungal spores, it is known that spores of the fungus Coccidiodes immitis can be found in wool, especially from the southwestern United States . This fungus can cause the disease known as coccidioidomycosis, which, along with the respiratory disease from anthrax, usually has a poor prognosis. Anthrax has the added hazard of causing a malignant ulcer or carbuncle with a black centre when entering the body through a break in the skin barrier.
