A rare and dangerous fungal infection has been spreading across the United States in recent years — and a primary theory is that climate change is driving its rapid rise.
Idk, not a scientist. Seems like one of those complex chain reaction things, not a question of direct evidence for a single causing factor. Most of that stuff prefers warm temperatures and humid environments. Water from floods for example is full of delicious food for all kinds of organisms that can harm us. Also possible that the warming and seasonal weather extremes will speed up their evolution and make them generally stronger. Then combine that with the growing antibiotic resistance, and even weak and lame stuff like legionella will very soon be a greater danger.
