A rare and deadly fungal infection has been detected in Michigan, affecting at least 10 people and killing two. The blastomycosis infection is caused by a fungus that lives in moist soil and wood. It can cause symptoms such as coughing, fever, muscle aches, and skin lesions. The infection is treatable with antifungal drugs, but it can be fatal if left untreated.
