What is mucormycosis?
Mucormycosis is a type of fungal infection. It’s relatively rare, but also very serious.
Formally known as zygomycosis, this infection tends to occur most often if you have weakened immunity from an illness or health condition.
What are the symptoms of mucormycosis?
Mucormycosis presents itself as either a respiratory or a skin infection. Signs of a related sinus or respiratory infection may include:
cough
fever
headache
nasal congestion
sinus pain
With a skin infection, mucormycosis can develop within any part of your body. It may initially occur at the site of skin trauma, but it can quickly spread to another area. Be on the lookout for symptoms such as:
blackened skin tissue
blisters
fever
redness
swelling
tenderness
ulcers
What causes mucormycosis?
Mucormycosis is caused by exposure to mucormyete molds. These organisms occur in:
leaves
piles of compost
soil
rotting wood
You can contract mucormycosis by breathing in affected mold spores in the air. This is referred to as a sinus (pulmonary) exposure. In turn, you may develop the infection in your:
central nervous system (rarer)
eyes
face
lungs
sinuses
The fungus can also infect your skin via a cut or burn (cutaneous exposure). In such cases, the wound or burn ends up becoming the area of infection.
While these types of molds can naturally occur in the environment, not everyone exposed will get the fungal infection. You may be at an increased risk of contracting this type of infection if you have a weakened immune system. Conditions that may increase your risk include:
burns
cuts and scrapes
cancer
recent organ transplant
HIV or AIDS
diabetes (especially if it’s not being treated properly)
surgery
It’s important to get treatment. If left untreated, mucormycosis can be fatal.
According to the video steroids used to treat Covid cause the fungus. I say masks contribute heavily.
