The Dark Side of Fungi
They’re not all magical and entangled. These fungi will kill you. The post The Dark Side of Fungi appeared first on Nautilus.
Yeast and mold and mushrooms. Spores and gills and filaments. Fungi are everywhere, many of them invisible to the eye. They live in the soil, air, and water. They colonize our body tissues and cavities and live on our skin. But rising global temperatures seem to have expanded their geographical reach and made them better at infecting humans.
They’re also better at killing us. Two women of fungal infection earlier this year after getting cosmetic procedures at her and numerous other people after they received epidural anesthesia during surgeries at one of two clinics in Mexico near the border with Texas.
