Hi black fungus doesn't catch healthy people like this. It is occurring in specific situations of- high sugar levels, steroid treatments, covid19, immune supression drugs and damp hospital environments. Ask your friend to not to spread misinformation and always ask these questions to doctors or health professionals only.
