10 Side Effects of Vitamin D
Vitamin D Side Effect #7: Histoplasmosis
Fungi are all around us pretty much everywhere we go. The vast majority are completely harmless to us and many will even end up on our dinner plates. Some, though, are harmful and can cause some quite nasty infections. One such infection is histoplasmosis, which is a fungal infection of the lungs.
Histoplasmosis is caused when the patient inhales capsulatum fungal spores. These spores are often found in the central and southeastern states. Too much vitamin D in the diet can increase calcium levels in the blood if you have histoplasmosis, so it is best to keep clear should you have such an infection.
