What are the maor risk factors for histoplasmosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Location: Location (where you live) is what gets you exposed to histo. Histo usually only gets you sick if you are immunosuppressed, or if you have a very large exposure. Most adults have been exposed throughout their lifetime without any consequences other than maybe a benign spot on your chest x-ray.
