Black Fungus

2021-05-25 15:28:13
I am 31 YO female. It's been 2 weeks I recovered from covid, home isolation, no steroids,no oxygen given, I don't have diabetes. I have heard black fungus grows on rotten vegetables. I had few rotten vegetables in my fridge. Today I touched it  bare hands to dispose it. Is there any chance I will get infected with Black Fungus. Just getting paranoid after touching it

Don't panic, just keep your sugar levels under control and don't take steroids without doctors prescription also avoid wearing soiled mask again and again wear fresh mask.... If there are symptoms like black nasal discharge, nasal bleed, pain and swelling around the eyes, decrease in vision, decrease in eye movements, anesthesia over face, black spots around eyes and palate...
