Laura,
There are most definately lots of species/strains of pseudomonas in the soil. In fact some are known as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and are used commercially with agronomic crops. They found one of those species in my lungs and I am an avid gardner. Plus my job involves working in the woods with trees and soil. I tried the mask too and it sucked so I don't wear it. I try to avoid playing too much in the dirt but when my garden is all weedy I just can't stand it. And what a feeling to plant something in the soil and watch it grow. I worry about it but bottom line is I keep gardening. When I am sick I stay away though. I asked my cf doc too but he really didn't have an answer.
