Dear Don:
I believe Sporotrichosis is the beast yer wondering about.
It is generally recommended that persons handling sphagnum shud wear rubber
gloves, particularly if they have any nicks or open wounds on your hands or
forearms.
The CP FAQ at the Intnl. Carnivorous Plant Society
(www.carnivorousplants.org) has more info on this.
Good growing
