An Oregon hospital is reporting an outbreak of a superbug fungus that has hospitalized three people in the state, health officials said.
Oregon on Tuesday confirmed three cases of Candida auris at a hospital in Salem, the state capital. The first case was detected on Dec. 11, according to the Oregon Health Authority. The second case was confirmed on Dec. 23 and the third Dec. 27.
Federal, state and local health officials are investigating the outbreak.
C. auris is a type of yeast fungus that is difficult to detect and is heavily resistant to drugs, making treatment of infected patients difficult. The pathogen was first detected in 2009 at a hospital in Japan and inside the U.S. in 2013.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called C. auris a "serious global health threat" and has reported 1,156 clinical cases of the yeast fungus in states stretching from New York to California.

“Fortunately, the organism we’re dealing with in this outbreak appears to respond to existing treatments,” she said in a statement. “Nonetheless, it’s critical that we prevent the spread of the infection.”
The fungus can cause bloodstream and wound infections, with symptoms including fever and chills. It can also colonize people’s skin and spread through close contact or via contaminated surfaces.
C. auris is extremely hard to detect and requires special equipment to identify.”
Change up from MRSA?
Fungus passed on from ANTIFA who refuse to shower?
Id it’s rare I won’t worry about it.
Hey dynachrome, are you still following/listening to Michael Savage? Wonder if he was still doing his thing. Curious if he was pro-Trump.
He does a podcast now, but I haven’t listened in a couple of years.

Fauci is getting right on that for a vaxx
Get a life, people! It's long past time to end "control by experts"; "control by politicians"; control by unelected bureaucrats"! It's long past time to stop living in fear and cowardice and depression and distrust and, especially, anger.
When nearly everyone’s immune system has been compromised by the vaccinations, this is what happens.

If you’ve ever seen many of the womyn in the Portland area, a yeast fungus of that type is not surprising...
More fear porn from the 50 IQ weenies at The Hill. If it’s “rare” and only three people have been “infected,” then there’s nothing to worry about.
Fungi are notoriously difficult to fight.
I found out because they are closer to animals than previously thought. Not simply plants. Thus killing fungus can kill animals.
Cut it out!
Will PETA try to protect this rare, endangered fungi, then?
Due to the 24-hour news cycle and proliferation of social media and more people getting “journalism” degrees, people are writing stories about almost every little, tiny thing that happens in this country. They need content and will just spew out nonsense stories about nothing. And this nonsense will scare people.
I wonder of CoupFlu vaxxes are making recipients more susceptible to the fungal infection...
