Ash Tree Fungus

0 Replies

Just thought I'd share an interesting discovery I've made whilst trawling google. It seems the fungus causing all of these problems for the ash trees in the news at the minute may also be causing asthma problems. Apparently theres been a flare up of asthma that's coincided with the spread of the fungus. Not a lot we can do short of wearing a full face mask but interesting nonetheless.
