What Is Histoplasmosis?

8. Prevention
It can be all but impossible to make yourself completely safe from histoplasmosis; the spores can easily be in the air you are breathing. We can still make ourselves significantly safer from the condition, however. One way to do this is to avoid places like caves and farms where the fungus is more likely to exist.
If you are expecting to be exposed to the spores, then wearing a mask can help. Another method of keeping safe is to spray surfaces and soil first before disturbing them because this will make the spores less likely to be released into the air.
