The rare fungal disease mucormycosis has killed more than 300 people and infected more than 12,000 in India as the country’s health system continues to grapple with Covid-19. A surgeon at a Delhi hospital told FRANCE 24 that the disease, also known as ‘black fungus’, can infect people who have been treated with oxygen for the coronavirus.

The deadly fungus moves rapidly in the body, attacking the nose, eyes, jaw and brain. Patients need immediate surgery to survive, but they are left with disabilities.

Black fungus can be treated with anti-fungal injections like Amphotericin B, but with the rising number of cases in India, there is an acute shortage.

"We are not able to find injections, we are facing a huge problem," Amit Singh, a relative of a patient, told FRANCE 24. "We are getting no help from the government."
 
We have white and yellow versions too.

Reason: Idiot hyper maskers who wear it all the time and don't take proper care to dispose of the surgical ones or to hygienically wash their reusable ones.

Solution: no mask, no fungus

bunch of covid paranoid morons, this country.

Bro Mucormycosis is an opportunistic infection it is present all around us but is harmless, the primary reason for it to cause an infection is depressed immune system. It has more to do with improper use and excessive dosage of glucocorticoids, not primarily masks.
