"If you have any decent nails on you and you rode it down the side of a tree or a property within a quarter of a mile to a half-mile of these barrel houses, your entire finger will be covered in black fungus," Long told Insider. "You can't see the tree limbs anymore. Our house, we have to have it pressure-washed four times a year now."
Long and her husband, Patrick, have asked that the distillery implement a ventilation system which would essentially remove the ethanol vapors and consequently, stop the fungus growth.
