Thought I should share this to save someone else a problem. Last April I started on my "48" cab to get it ready for the painter. Spent all day cleaning bird and mouse nests out of every spot something could possible be. I used a vacuume to make things worse. Did not think to wear a mask until I was nearly done, to late. The next day I came down sick, (105 temp sick) and a month later I was still somewhat sick. After being told I could have lung cancer they were able to narrow it down to a fungal infection in my lungs that grew nodes looking like cancer. Started treatment for that and now, a year later and more money in me then in my truck, I am still on meds trying to get rid of the fungus. This fungus is contracted from bird and or bat dropings the Doc said. They think I was sick when I started to clean which lowered my immunity and let the fungus take hold. Moral is be carefull when cleaning out these old trucks and wear a mask. I was also told to spray a clorox solution in the truck to sanitize it before starting, that can help. Both myself and the truck are doing good now but it has been a long year.


If you never tell a lie, you never need to remember what you said.
