Am I in risk of getting Mucormycosis?
Hi
My entire house is infected with mold because of floods. Today I visited a rheumatologist and took premaxo injection. Only after coming home I know that it is an immunosuppressant. Am I in risk of getting Mucormycosis?

Neither Household moulds does not predispose you to mucormycosis nor few doses of an immunosuppressant. Mucormycosis is a rare disease encountered by few who are severely immunosuppressed for a long time, usually with elderly with uncontrolled diabetes and very high blood sugars. So don’t be afraid of it.
