7 ways to stay protected black fungus

The US Centers for Disease Control says it is difficult to avoid areas where the fungus is present. Doctors say the fungi that cause mucormycosis are very common in the environment. However, those with weakened immune systems may take steps to reduce the risk of mycorrhizal infection.

These are highlighted-

  1. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control, or CDC, says avoiding areas where there is a lot of dust. If it is not possible to avoid those places, then use N95 mask.
  2. Avoid direct contact with installations that have been damaged by water due to natural disasters. The CDC says there could be fungal infections from these places.
  3. Keep an eye on the skin of the body so that there is no infection. If it is cut somewhere or the skin is raised, care should be taken so that it does not come in contact with dust and dirt.
  4. In case of Covid-19 patients, diabetes should be controlled as per the advice of the doctor
  5. The patient should be careful when using steroids. The use of steroids may result the risk of infection with black fungus is higher.
  6. Maintain cleanliness while giving oxygen to the patient.
  7. Maintain cleanliness when using masks

The US Centers for Disease Control says that taking precautionary measures to prevent mucomycosis infections is not yet fully proven.
