Awareness about a disease is good, anxiety about it is not.
Mucor is only for
diabetics(uncontrolled) ,
HIV,
high dose steroids and
prolonged hospital stay with oxygen requirements.
Next Steps

Considering the current history, the chances of developing Mucor are minimal.
Next Steps
Wear completely dry mask. Latent moisture is a growth medium for any fungus.

Absolutely no chance of black fungus, you can relax totally. This occurs in diabetic patients who have been on steroids and oxygen for the treatment of Covid.
