Rapidly spreading fungus already in 28 states, including Illinois, presents ‘urgent’ threat, CDC war

A fungus that poses “an urgent antimicrobial resistance threat,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has already been detected in more than half of U.S. states.

Candida auris, or C. auris, is so concerning because it is often resistant to anti-fungal drugs, making it hard to treat infections. It can also be hard to identify with standard lab tests, making it even more difficult to treat properly and early.

When the CDC says "This fungus will not create zombies" unprompted...

I swear to god, we were all born to late to explore the world too early to explore the galaxy and born just in time for this shit

It sounds terrible...it gets in the blood and then is untreatable. I hope the long term care type facilities are ready to address this threat. America is like a Petri dish of death and I am getting slightly disgusted with all this.

Who created it...what lab..and how who released it...who sent you..

Lmao “the fungus is not the same as on this programming show we have been using to prepare you”

Hey get it right. The game actually has the fungus transferable through spores in the air. The HBO show removed this since they didn't want the actors wearing masks, like in the game. So as long as your not bite by an old lady at the nursing home, you're fine. Right?🤔🙄

The fungus among us, has come to fruition.

Thats thrush. My mother had that after sh had a stroke and was in a nursimg home, she was supposedly on meds for that, but I dont think she wasnt on it. But this was back in 2014. I dont think she had any real treatment

[sharg]

I think I have this. Been two weeks on anti fungal pills and cream and nothing is working.

You mean, just like all living organisms, this is adapting, improving, and getting like covid, the flu, and the common cold ???
And then you state that there is something to clear it

Lmao if people really thought about The Last of Us, then humanity really is stupid . 🤡🤡🤡🤡

[jackprescott]

I wonder who is the main character if it takes over the world😮

[corytoddmusic]

Hmmm. I wonder if this is because LED light bulbs do not emit infrared light, therefore certain fungi thrive...

Next up, Jelly Belly proclaiming an emergency of sorts.

It is Ohio and Texas I got in December 2022 and shock infections disease doctors who told it was rare and deadly not treatedi went through antobyfor weeks and still did not go away.When I return to Ohio I had again for two months treatment for antibiotics went away two weeks and third time getting after changing long term catheter three different times due to rare autoimmune disease and blot clots and need blood every week now for nine years so no way I could not have cather since veins block in majority of my body. I got from hospital just got again fourth time yes it deadly and very hard on body and spread so fast.

If a healthy person gets the fungus…how long does it live in its host? Can it’s healthy host then spread it to their senior parents? How does it spread..through touch, breathing in the spores…how?

Hey can someone tell me why my wife has mushrooms sprouting out of her head and keeps trying to bite me?

[thatlady]

American scientists are working hard to make it worse right now
