Have had some run ins with a few fungus on old boards that made me sneeze
and once with one that looked like leather, and burned to the touch. Guess
they could give you problems if they got in you lungs. Had a lot more
trouble with dust then anything else doing with wood.

I ran into a guy today at Wal-Mart in the tool section that told me
about his friend that had been hospitalized from either a bacterial
infection or a viral infection he got from using some old lumber in
the back of his shed. I'm still a novice, but Wow! This seems a bit
far fetched. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before?
