Yes ... Any immunocompromised person can get black fungus but it's usually very very rare ... If ur blood sugar and other immune responses of body are fighting it ur body does not allow this fungus to grow ...so don't panic

Don't worry. If your blood glucose levels are under control, the chance of getting black fungus is low.
