CF In the Workplace (from CFF.org)
CF is progressive disease affecting the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 people in the United States. A defective gene causes the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that: clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections and obstructs the pancreas, interfering with the body’s ability to break down and absorb food. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into adulthood. However, there is NO CURE for CF.
