Experts in the United States warn of the spread of a dangerous type of fungus known as Aspergillus Fuigatus, after recording a noticeable increase in cases during the past weeks, especially in states with warm and humid climate.
This mushroom raises anxiety among the medical circles due to its ability to cause acute pulmonary infection that may exacerbate to lead to organic failure or even death, especially in those who suffer from weak immune system such as cancer patients, those with HIV, and those with chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, according to New Toss 18.
What is smoky machine guns?
Smoke machine guns are common environmental fungi that spread across microscopic spores in the air. These spoys are invisible to the naked eye and are often inhaled without note, especially in places such as soil, decomposing plants, and dusty old homes.
This mushroom is efficiently grows at moderate to 37 ° C, and it can stay in harsh conditions such as compost piles that exceed 49 degrees Celsius.
Who are the most vulnerable to injury?
Although most people’s immune devices resist mushrooms without complications, people who suffer from immune weakness are at greater risk, such as:
Cancer patients during chemotherapy
HIV patients (HIV)
Asthma
Those who suffer from low white blood cells
Recently recovering from viral diseases such as influenza
The states and regions at risk
The states such as Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and California are among the most affected by its appropriate climate for the growth of mushrooms, along with high agricultural activity in it.
Major cities such as New York, Houston and Los Angeles also face an increasing danger due to high population density and ancient infrastructure.
A machine gun is not officially reported, which makes it difficult to follow the size of its spread accurately.
It is estimated that about 40,000 people in the United States may develop a chronic type of infection, while gas machine gun disease is one of the most dangerous forms that may spread from the lungs to vital organs such as the heart and brain.
