-==Popular culture==
-The illness is mentioned in episode Lines in the Sand of the TV Show ''House'', as the cause of a young girl's loss of inhibition. The illness does not actually cause loss of inhibition, nor does it cause milky tears. This was not a factual error in the episode: House was tricking the girl, however this was not obvious to many viewers.
-It is also the center of an episode of the TV series Bones, ''The Man In the Fallout Shelter''. After being exposed to the fungus, the team was quarantined over Christmas to determine whether or not they had become infected. It was erroneously claimed to be contagious from person to person.
