Was it some moldy ceiling tiles? The dusty shoes of a careless employee? Or did the contamination ride in on one of the ingredients?
There are lots of ways fungus could have gotten inside the Massachusetts compounding pharmacy whose steroid medication has been linked to a lethal outbreak of a rare fungal form of meningitis.
The outbreak has killed at least 15 people and sickened more than 200 others in 15 states. Nearly all the victims had received steroid injections for back pain.

Had my spinal tap or Lumbar Punch yesterday. I think that anyone who received any product from Mass should get checked with an LP. A Circuit court judge died from this with very vague symptoms that were not at all like the ones listed on the CDC website. Better safe than sorry. I also wonder how 3 different fungal types all ended up in the same place at one time. Kinda makes me wonder.
