EBY: "I know fungi can be hazardous and I believe some algae produce toxins. However I don't believe their are any algae that physically attack us or Lichens that do so. The algae in the lichen make it at least a partial autotroph."

COWING: WRT you claim about algae: I guess you have never heard of Red Tide. Go look it up - and see what causes it - and look what it does to the organisms it affects - and any others who come into contact with it.

Mark, seriously, get some more training in biology and epidemiology before you put your self out on a limb - your arguments ("autotrophs") are peripheral to the topic you think you are discussing. Infectious agents range from viruses and prions up through bacteria and other unicellular life forms to multicellular invertebrates. Forms of nutrition vary widely. Many pathogens are facultative in that regard.
