Hey Gene, Blasto used to be classified as a fungus but for the last few years has been classified as a parasite. It also used to be considered benign but is now considered a pathogen. I gather it has characteristics of both a fungus and a parasite -- which makes it extremely difficult to get rid of. I've taken a ton of antifungals -- including c -- without sucess. Katarina

General medical treatment is for antifungal medicines. One would need to learn where this has taken up residence. If it is the lungs, one could consider CS delivered by nebulizer to reach these.
