But don't worry; scientists and docs speak very conservatively; like "is consistent with", etc. It means yes, we are. Don't forget your neighbors to the south have been doing their best to whitewash it.

Dangerous fungus thrives on West Coast
CAROLYN ABRAHAM

From Saturday's Globe and Mail

A tropical and potentially lethal fungus that has mysteriously made a home on Canada's temperate West Coast has prompted foreign medical experts to issue a worldwide alert to doctors and tourists.

The warning comes after a 51-year-old Danish visitor contracted the rare and life-threatening fungal infection on Vancouver Island. In the January issue of the Journal of Emerging Infectious Diseases, published monthly by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, doctors in Denmark — who eventually found clumps of the fungus growing in the man's chest — have cited the island as a potential health risk to travellers.
