    Author: Benedict K, Thompson GR, Jackson BR.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2020 Jun; 26(6):1308-1310. PubMed ID: 32441624.
    Abstract:
    Case reports have identified invasive fungal diseases in persons who use cannabis, and fungal contamination of cannabis has been described. In a large health insurance claims database, persons who used cannabis were 3.5 (95% CI 2.6-4.8) times more likely than persons who did not use cannabis to have a fungal infection in 2016.
