PHDM said it is continuing to work with Billerud Paper Mill, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate the outbreak.

Blastomycosis is a disease from a fungus that grows in decomposing wood and leaves.

Health officials say Blastomycosis has a lengthy incubation time. That’s the time between exposure to the fungus and the time a patient shows symptoms.  The incubation period of Blastomycosis can range from 21 to 90 days.
