🤔 How it works ⁉

How does black fungus enter the body?

Mucormycosis is caused by a group of molds called mucormycetes. It is naturally found in air, water and even food. It enters the body through fungal spores from the air or can also occur on skin after a cut, burn, or skin injury. The symptoms of black fungus/mucormycosis are pain/stuffiness in the nose, inflammation on cheeks, fungus patch inside the mouth and swelling in the eyelids.

According to experts, the white fungus infections are more dangerous than black fungus due to its acute affect on lungs and other body parts. White fungus becomes more lethal because of the way it spreads and causes great damage to the vital organs. It may impact brain, respiratory organs, digestive tract, kidneys, nailbed or even private parts.

Diabetic patients, COVID patients and people who are on steroids are at a higher risk of contracting the black fungal infection. While the infection can be detected through X-rays and CT scans, the patients are given anti-fungal medication for its treatment.

Generally, some types of fungi don’t cause any infections in humans but can cause sickness in people with weakened immune systems known as opportunistic infections.

Some common types of a fungal infection include:

*Skin infections like ringworm
*Nail infections
*Deeper cutaneous infections following trauma,
*Breach in the skin with subsequent fungal implantation and growth
*Sinus infections and deep lung infections
*The fungi can also affect the gastrointestinal system, renal systems and can cause a full-blown infection resulting from the entry of fungus into the bloodstream
