PEAT MOSS: Handling
Persons handling peat moss can contract sporotrichosis an unpleasant fungus infection which can enter the skin through nicks and abrasions, or be inhaled; the first is usually mild and is treated with oral doses of iodine solution strictly measured; the second is treated with an anti-fungal antibiotic called amphotericin-B.

PEAT MOSS: Sphagnum Peat, Canadian Peat
Because it is fine in texture it has to be mixed with perlite or pebbles, or whatever, because by itself it tends to coalesce and retard air circulation, so roots tend to languish, except for cymbidiums and perhaps odontoglossums. A81-1321
