US Fungus

Ok so Thanksgiving break threw off my grove. I seriously was eating a ton (macrophaging) in Ohio, which brought to mind Histoplasmosis, since its in the oHio and mississippi river basin areas, and macrophages engorge on Histoplasmosis (I can make up something about bats or starlings to go along with this story, but I'm too lazy).
Cali has Coccidioidomycosis, states/Mexico Bordering the Atlantic have Blastomycosis (remember Goljan stuttering "blasto broad based bud") , and Panama has Paracoccidioidomycosis. The picture is supposed to help remember a road trip to Cali and Coccidioidomycosis (looks like a tire) and sailing to Panama (Paracoccidio looks like a captain's wheel).
