- Individuals
exposed to decaying vegetation, primarily in agriculture, have
a high risk of breathing the spores of the fungus, Aspergillus.
Asthma and rhinitis due to allergy are common, but individuals
with predisposing risk factors (like chronic pulmonary disease,
bronchial cancer or impaired ciliary action) can develop a progressive
infection. Aspergillus is a fungus that produces large quantities
of oxalic acid; thus, during aspergillosis the levels of oxalic
acid in the body can increase dramatically.
