Maureen, from East Kilbride, only learned her husband had contracted two infections, stenotrophomonas and aspergillus, after requesting his medical records.

Louise Slorance’s husband Andrew died from Covid while being treated for cancer at the hospital in 2020 and also tested positive for aspergillus.

For the last seven years, Kammerer has been working with koji mold, or Aspergillus oryzae, which is widely used in Japanese cuisine to ferment soybeans and make things like soy sauce and miso.

When she requested his medical notes after his death, she found he had also been treated for a fungus called aspergillus, which had not previously been disclosed to her.

Like Mr Slorance, his medical records showed he had a positive culture of aspergillus prior to his death in May 2021.
