Yes, Hopeful. While you are taking cyclosporine, which in an immunosuppressant, you are at higher risk for any sort of infection--bacterial, viral, or fungal. Fungal infections can be very difficult to treat so I would avoid possible contaminants, including hay, dirt, and wood. Immunosuppressed patients are generally discouraged from gardening for this reason.
Regards,
Ruth
