Viruses and Bacteria

Many viruses and bacteria are transmitted with each breath. Endotoxins from Gram negative bacteria have been found to contaminate ventilation systems with the resultant endotoxin upper respiratory inflammation or pneumonitis. Actinomycosis is becoming a greater problem in many areas with high humidity and in city buildings which are air-conditioned or which have humidifying systems. This fungal-like bacterium causes true allergy reactions but also causes a non-allergic hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
