Flock worker's lung

 * ... that flock worker's lung is a disease caused by inhaling small particles of nylon?
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Tygerberg Zoo
 * Comment: With regards to MEDRS - PubMed showed no reviews published on this (quite rare and recently-described) disease in the past 5 years. NIOSH has information that meets MEDRS but I have supplemented it with information from the reviews of literature sections in reliable journal articles. From my previous experience writing about very rare diseases, this should be okay.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, meets core content policies. Hook directly cited to RS. Good to go. As an aside, I don't see how your sources can't meet MEDRS; there's no rule saying one has to use PubMed. --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  19:18, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
