Research suggests fungal infections may threaten health

An American study has shown that invasive fungal infections caused by mold pose a serious health threat and can be deadly in some cases. Researchers documented around 450 cases in hospitals in the Atlanta area over five years, with about one-third of the patients dying during their hospital stay. These infections are associated with increased exposure to mold following natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods, and the incidence is expected to rise with climate change. The infection is often transmitted through inhaling spores or via wounds or contaminated medical equipment.
