Candida auris, also called C. auris, was first identified in the U.S. in 2016. Since then, the number of cases have increased every year, jumping substantially in 2023 (the last year of data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
Recently, cases have proliferated in Georgia, the state’s health department told local news outlet WJCL. A study published this week, which focused on the Jackson Health System in Miami also found cases of the fungus have “rapidly increased.”

People with a healthy immune system may be able to fight off infection on their own, but Candida auris mainly spreads in health care settings, where people are sick and vulnerable. People with catheters, breathing tubes, feeding tubes and PICC lines are at the highest risk because the pathogen can enter the body through these types of devices.
When the fungus infects a patient, it can be hard to identify what’s going on. Symptoms are like those of any infection, including fever and chills.
Another reason Candida auris is so concerning is because of how well it has adapted to surviving on surfaces, like countertops, bedrails and doorknobs.

I can think of several Dems that qualify.

“Candida auris mainly spreads in health care settings, where people are sick and vulnerable. People with catheters, breathing tubes, feeding tubes and PICC lines are at the highest risk because the pathogen can enter the body through these types of devices.”
It’s spreading in hospital systems need to do a better job with sterilization of catheters, scopes, etc.
it’s mainly a nosocomial infection.
This isn’t bullshit like Covid, this is the real deal and my wife has a tracheostomy (breathing tube), feeding tube and midline IV, so I don’t feel much like making light of this, also there has been an awareness poster up in her hospital about this and the risks for months, at least the nine months my wife has been hospitalized.

Prayers up for your wife.
Masks! Vax!
Shots and masks probably would help it spread.
Fresh air and sunlight are its enemies.
Do not eat the moldy bread.
