@dhaval A yellow fungus infection, much like other fungal infections spreads via contaminated environments, or when a suspected patient inhales molds that grow in the environment. According to fungal infections has been reported amongst those put on prolonged oxygen support, or have been prescribed steroid use. It can also develop on the skin after the fungus enters the skin through a cut, scrape, burn, or another type of skin trauma.
Here are some of the precautions that one can take to protect themselves from the yellow fungus:- Keep your room, home, and surroundings as clean as possible;
- Remove stale food and fecal matter immediately to check bacteria and fungal growth;
- Keep the humidity of the room and home under check as excessive humidity promotes bacteria growth.
