Weird Irony

The Des Moines office of the American Lung Association held a reception at Terrace Hill, Iowa's Governors Mansion, last November.

Now Health Officials are urging those who attended to be screened for a respiratory illness,
histoplasmosis.

It also carries the name "Darling's disease".

That would be way to weird if that name was derived from "Ding" Darling, onetime Ragister cartoonist and noted wildlife conservationist, and the scientific community is united in that fact.
