Experts warn that people without covid can also be affected by Black fungus

Mucormycosis, or black fungus, is spreading among covid patients in India. In the meantime, experts warn that people without covid can also be affected and diabetes patients should take extra care.

There was black fungus before covid. It is more likely to affect diabetics, especially those with uncontrolled diabetes. Black fungus can also occur in people with diabetes as well as other diseases. Diabetic keto acidosis is a condition in which blood sugar levels reach 700 -800. People in this condition can be affected by black fungus irrespective of child or adult. NITI Aayog member Dr V. K. Paul says.

Diseases such as pneumonia can make this condition worse. The current covid epidemic is exacerbating the situation. The black fungus can affect people who do not have covid when they use steroid, as well as other conditions.

AIIMS that healthy people don’t fear getting black fungus and that the risk is higher for those who are less resistant – Dr Nikhil Tandon says.
