These days, the wave of the global coronavirus disease is once again on the rise across the globe, with new cases also being reported from India. A new strain of the virus, known as JN.1, poses a big threat as it attacks the body aggressively. To protect oneself from this variant, it is necessary to boost immunity.
In addition to the threat of the virus, a recent study has revealed an alarming development. The study makes a worrying revelation, warning about the increasing risk of diseases caused by fungal infections.
In the study, information has been found about a dangerous fungus Aspergillus which flourishes with climate change. Not only this, it starts eating humans from inside, serious cases also come to the fore. Let's know well about this study.
Is Aspergillosis dangerous
Most of the healthy people inhale Aspergillus spores daily without getting sick, however, the story changes dramatically for those with weakened immune systems. In vulnerable individuals, these spores can cause aspergillosis.
Aspergillus emerging as the cause of death in humans
Recently a shocking revelation has been made in the study. It was told that the temperature of the earth is gradually increasing. Due to this, Aspergillus, which is a fungus that spreads infection (Fungal Infection) in humans, is emerging as the cause of death in humans.
In fact, most cases of climate change-related effects are observed in North America, Europe, China and Russia. These cases are likely to increase in the future. If we continue to burn fossil fuels like this, then this fungus can increase up to 16% in the coming years. After the warning of this fungus, researchers and scientists are working to stop it, that is, studies are going on on it.
What is Aspergillus Fungus
This is a type of fungus that not only harms humans but also plants and trees. This fungus is microscopic which cannot be easily detected. This dangerous fungus has a very harmful effect on human health, that is, it attacks the lungs of humans, which can cause fatal diseases. Dangerous fungus sometimes affects people's body badly from inside.
What are the symptoms
The symptoms ranged from mild to severe. Identifying the warning signs early can save lives. Some of the common symptoms include:
Persistent cough (sometimes with blood)
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Fever that doesn’t respond to antibiotics
Fatigue or weakness
Unexplained weight loss
Facial pain or sinus pressure
Risk of death of more than 25 lakh people
The study also states that this dangerous fungus enters the human body through breathing. The fungus grows in small particles in soil or any moist place which release very small spores in the air. Examples of fungal infection are more common in diseases like asthma, cystic fibrosis and COPD. However, this infection does not put every person in trouble but affects only a few people. To avoid this infection, it is very important for your immunity to be strong, if it is low, it can harm your health.
