It took doctors a month to figure out a fungus had infected Glenda Brame’s bloodstream. The delay likely led to her death.
The 56-year-old died in September, felled by a fungus that kills between 30% and 60% of people it infects. Brame had exhibited signs of a serious infection for weeks, her medical records show. Doctors at Horizon Specialty Hospital in Las Vegas suspected bacteria and gave her antibiotics. Her infection worsened.
“They kept pumping her full of antibiotics,” said her husband, Malcolm Brame.
Brame’s death could have been prevented had doctors promptly treated the fungal infection, according to infectious-disease specialists who reviewed her case but weren’t involved in her care. Horizon said it had followed infection-control protocols to prevent and curb the spread of the fungus.
Severe fungal disease used to be a freak occurrence. Now it is a threat to millions of vulnerable Americans, and treatments have been losing efficacy as fungal pathogens develop resistance to standard drugs.
Medical experts say one reason for the surge is that more people have compromised immune systems, including cancer patients and those taking medicines after organ transplants. Compounding the problem, research shows, is that rising temperatures appear to have expanded the geographical range of some deadly fungal pathogens, and possibly made them better adapted to human hosts.

IT’s THE VAXX. Also, remember my (at least) thrice vaxxed daughter has bright blue sinus mucus.

Video footage shows man setting fire to Detroit gas station with blow torch
A Detroit man was arrested Tuesday afternoon for setting fire to a gas station on the edge of the city in earlier that day. A 30-second video posted by the Detroit Police Department to their Facebook page shows the suspect emptying a garbage can filled with trash and gasoline inside the doorway and lighting it on fire with a blowtorch. The gas station employee was hospitalized with first-degree burns after attempting to escape the building through the flames. Credit: Detroit Police Department via Storyful

Wow, that is just terrible.
Prayers for your daughter.
Isn’t ivermectin good for fungus?
I know you’ve talked about your daughter’s resistance to health suggestions but, FWIW, in my own experience IVM will clean out the sinuses. Whether one has a cold or not. It seems to activate the body’s defensive systems. Might make more ear wax. Might clear up the eyes. About three days in you can look for changes. Best wishes for the daughter.
Melian That is awful, I hope your daughter gets better!
Has she been tested for the fungus? (SOrry, haven't yet read the article, don't know if one can be tested for it) Pryers for all of you!
