@avinash The Black Fungus can enter your body as you breathe or come in contact with rotting produce. Mucormycosis fungal infection typically occurs in people with health problems that make them immunocompromised, such as Covid-19. Essentially, patients who take medicines with the potential to lower the ability of the immune system to fight infection are prone to suffering from Black Fungus. In the case of Covid-19, the virus finds a host in a weakened immune system as the body is vulnerable to infection. So, people recovering from Covid-19 are at a higher risk of suffering from Black Fungus or Mucormycosis.
