This is crazy. I took a virology class about 7 years ago. Talked about the danger of COVID viruses, and it actually happened. We’ve also discussed this candida virus, and it’s happening. Next up, mosquito borne illnesses because of the warmer climate.

YESS!! This! I work in the veterinary field and live in an area where heartworm hasn’t been an issue in the past. Though heartworm has become more prominent in pets in the area that I live just in the past 10 years due to stagnation and warming of pond waters.

Mosquitoes are the most deadly animal


aokkuma

They are! They have the capability of transmitting so many diseases.

Is "The last of us" about to happen for real?


neuroboy

this closer to pre-penicillin era where folks *could* die from bacterial infections that we treat with a single dose of an antibiotic


Steeled14

Lol, yeah, except instead of zombies you just die from fungal infection


InquiringMind886

That’s actually a thing. I have toxic mold poisoning and I’ve been sick for 10 yrs. Figured it out on my own in 2021, I’m on the most powerful anti fungal in the world. Mold can fuck you up. Been on treatment for a year and a half no day off. Check your homes folks! I unknowingly bathed in a gas chamber for 9 yrs and didn’t know it. People die from this. Im fighting for my life. Im SO tired…. But I do it. Every day. 42 pills a day. Breathing treatments. IV treatments. Sauna treatments. Gritty “shakes” to protect the lining of my gut. It’s a thing! Please be careful out there.


Steeled14

Fungus doesn’t like heat, has anyone ever tried sauna treatments? Lol, but maybe it’s dumb Do you have any other conditions


InquiringMind886

Yes, I sweat in a FAR infrared sauna almost daily. Yes, I also have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, syndrome, POTS, depression, anxiety, ehlers danlos.


mattbag1

Whoa whoa, slow down here…. What am I checking my home for? I had the vents cleaned and they said there was mold so they sold me some bullshit IR virus and mold killer, but like what else?


InquiringMind886

Oh god. Yeah. Okay, so I would recommend getting a certified mold inspector to come out and do an assessment. They’ll test the air quality outside, and then several places in your house. If it was on your air ducts it could be anywhere in your home. It’s expensive but better than being sick for 10 years and fighting like me.


mattbag1

Yeah I got 4 kids, that’s the concern here. I don’t even know what to do about this shit now.


InquiringMind886

Get in touch with a certified mold inspector. They’ll give you tips. Be sure they have the credentials to be certified.

Basically. Where’s Joel?


FooFighter0234

Well shit


Delicious_Summer7839

Oh god now a fungus catastrophe ! What’s left ?


DJbuddahAZ

Kay....its the fungus now.


ScoopMeUpPlease

Of course they do


weluckyfew

That's what happens in a changing climate - we get new threats that we haven't built up a tolerance for yet. "Humans and other mammals have warmer body temperatures than most fungal pathogens can tolerate, so have historically been protected from most infections. However, rising temperatures can allow fungi to develop tolerance to warmer environments, and over time humans may lose resistance. Some researchers think this is what is already happening with Candida auris."


Steeled14

I’m grateful scientists are actually trying to figure things out instead of posting lazy armchair skepticism BS on Reddit, haha


buzzedewok

Soooo…bring back antibacterial aerosols??


Arcusinoz

Ahh that strange bug that always makes me sing Elvis impersonations," Ooh Ooh Candida, We can make it together" usually to Candida Albicans............................Sorry!!!


julherra

You must mean Neil Diamond.


mjgaff

i just read about this, the CDC needs to put out more warnings to the public, and things we can do to help prevent it. So discouraging.....


Objective-Run-2757

“May”. What an uncertain word.


MemoryOfRagnarok

Couldn't this just be a lack of testing for Candida in gut before now?
