Some fungi are delicious, but others can cause disease or, and still others, like Penicillium, can cure it.
Nineteen days ago, several hundred people could have been exposed by a traveler with measles in Nova Scotia, Canada. The next day, someone flying from Minnesota to Nebraska may have spread the measles to other passengers.
