A union chief admitted that determining the source of the outbreak would be impossible.
The outbreak was detected over a month ago, but the mill was kept running.
At least one person has died and nearly 100 have been sickened in an outbreak of blastomycosis at a northwest Michigan paper mill.
Billerud, which runs the mill in Escanaba, north Michigan, said it was closing the mill as a 'precationary measure'. Workers there say people keep falling sick.
The spread of the disease in Michigan's Upper Peninsula is likely the largest blastomycosis outbreak in United States history.
