Thanks Ron.  Thankfully, we do not have any of the symptoms or issues 
mentioned such as pain, inflammation, candida or yeast etc.  I've been a nut 
lover for nearly half a century (although the past decade I rarely eat peanuts 
or peanut butter because it's really a legume and not a true nut) but I've 
lowcarbed for so long that perhaps that keeps unwanted yeasties in check.  I 
haven't eaten any cheese in ages but when I did -- I loved all cheese and 
especially the stinky moldy ones.  I did notice some water retention from 
cheese prior to paleo so maybe it was the mold that affected me and not dairy 
proteins. I had never seen mold on a macamia nut before.
