Under-informed doctors not only allow the problem to worsen by not immediately identifying the problem, allowing the exposure to continue, but they can even make the problems worse by misdiagnosing and mistreating the illness. I previously wrote about how doctors will misdiagnose a mold infection as a bacterial infection and treat it with antibiotics. But the bacteria in your body are actually necessary to fight off fungal infections. This is like trying to put out a fire with a flamethrower.
