YELLOW FUNGUS

  • Now, after black fungus and white fungus infection, cases of yellow fungus infection have been reported in India, which is dangerous than black and white fungus.
  • According to reports, one of the first yellow fungus infection cases has been identified in Ghaziabad, U.P.
  • Doctors have suggested that yellow fungus could be much more dangerous than black and white fungus cases, and requires attention from the very beginning since it is an infection that can cause heavy internal damage.

WHAT EXACTLY YELLOW FUNGUS INFECTION?

Yellow fungus infection isn't exactly new. A yellow fungus infection, much like other fungal infection spreads via contaminated environments, or when suspected patients inhale moulds(mycometes) which grow in the environment.

HOW DO I SPREAD? 

The fungal infection spreads when a person inhales moulds and is found in the environment. Now yellow or other fungal infections being talked about right now aren't exactly contagious, since they cannot be spread from person to person like other respiratory infections (like covid 19)
