Wikipedia says it has evolved because of global warming. Since global warming was invented by Al Gore and Danish 'scientists', we're all perfectly safe.

Come to think of it - Denmark invented that funny blue cheese with all the mold. I wonder if there's a link?

The infection is caused by inhaling spores. The fungus is not transmitted from person to person or from animal to person. A person with cryptococcal disease is not contagious.[8]

Wikipedia blames everything on Global Warming, even the Revolutionary War.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.
