Frequently Asked Questions:
COVID-19 patients are more susceptible to white fungus, which damages the lungs and causes symptoms similar to coronavirus. Those with weakened immune systems, such as diabetics, cancer patients, and those who have been on steroids for a long time, must take extra precautions since they are more vulnerable. It also affects coronavirus patients who require oxygen therapy.
According to doctors, White fungus is more deadly than black fungus since it not only affects the lungs but also the nails, skin, stomach, kidney, brain, private parts, and mouth.
Both the White and Black fungus prey on those who have a weak immune system. Additionally, those with diabetes, cancer, a critical disease, or a patient in the intensive care unit are more susceptible to black fungus. At the same time, patients with comorbidities are attacked by the white fungus. Excess blood sugar in cancer patients makes them more susceptible to white fungus.
Infection with white fungus is caused by fungi moulds found in the environment. Although the condition is not communicable, it is believed that a person is susceptible to infection since these moulds are easily inhaled by a patient.
The lungs, as well as other body components, are severely affected by white fungus. It has the potential to be fatal, affecting key organs such as brain, respiratory system, and digestive tract.
The black fungus can cause vision loss by affecting the face, nose, eye orbit, and even the brain. It has the potential to spread to the lungs.
