- Cases of Candida auris are increasing every year.
Most fungi can’t grow and reproduce in the human body because it’s too warm. But experts say they’re evolving.

Sounds a lot like an instant replay of MRSA a few years ago.
YEAST INFECTIONS
Except MRSA doesn’t have spores and the potential to spread through air. We maybe in serious trouble.
@@tesoro7788 I lost two very good friends to MRSA related pneumonia. It can be airborne.
This what I have, backs off when agitated, reacts to temperature stimulation water humidity and substance
And I'm riddled with it. It errupts from me. Five years of observation in isolation
My wife had a systemic fungal infection and it was bad. She recovered but she had to take anti fungal medication for 2 years.
What were her symptoms? And what treatments worked?
Aren't anti fungal meds pretty expensive? For two years?? She had that growing in her body or at least spores were present or something l guess, good grief, nice to hear she's over it at least.
The acute phase of the infection was managed at hospital so I'm not sure what medicine is used.. Following that the treatment was monthly to prevent a recurrence.. She was prescribed a typical Medication for yeast infection. She has typed one diabetes so that accounts for the long prophylaxis.
fungi is life... the first stage. Also, the biggest and oldest thing om earth they claim (below oregon topsoil)
You had me at "we want healthcare facilities to stay motivated" ... lol...
Ha Ha! Oh boy, one more thing to worry about. Thanks NOVA.=)
I recently scraped my fingers against an old weathered board in the garden. The edges of two fingers were left with a fine matrix of tiny slivers. I was worried about bacterial infection and treated it as such. Instead, I got the most difficult fungal infection I have ever experienced. Going on two months now, I had tried every OTC antifungal at the pharmacy. Tolnaftate seemed to be slowing the spread and scrubbing the infected area with hydrogen peroxide seemed to help though the infection still spread to my other hand, in particular finding places to root at the knuckles. I found butenafine hydrochloride, which was incrementally better than the tolnaftate. Still, by the time I was my appointment to see a nurse practitioner arrived, it still wasn't clearly under control or in remission. No I have a tube of Clotrimazole and Betamethasone. It has been about a week. The open wounds on various knuckles have mostly healed. My understanding is that fungi are particularly difficult because they are eukaryotes, the same cellular structure that the human body is comprised of. The upside is that my new white gloves are very stylish.
May I suggest checking with someone who’s a dr?
@@anne-marieriamitchell1140he said that he did already
Awesome, can't wait.
What happens if you introduce copper to the agar?
If copper inhibits growth, perhaps we should FINALLY replace all the stainless steel in hospitals with copper plated metal.
Yeah catheters with copper in them…. I’ve seen the use silver in wound care.
Copper patinas to turquiose when exposed to salt water so I don't think it will mix well with saline solutions. The patina can also rust or oxidize off and fall. Imagine that in a bloodstream 😬.
Yes, adding a little heavy metal toxicity into the problem always helps!
/s
stainless is cleanable with 70% (not 91, ask any labtech why) plus a quick UVC flash, you are cleaner than clean
What music is used in this video? It’s actually pretty good 😂
I don't have this strain of fungi, where can I find it?
I was gonna laugh with a little nervous sweating-smile emoji, but I see by your username that it's likely a serious request. As a chemo patient, that's somehow more like a scared, turning blue emoji. I'm emoji-conflicted.
@@Sarappreciates sorry !
i'm not serious, just fucking around, hope all works out well for you !!
we all unfortunately know someone in your position !
probably inside a few vials of that bioLab they found in Reedley Califormia 😮
@@Sarappreciatesyou should get mesima
And the plot thickens
😂
It's already a ticc boi.
Have you noticed how nasty most medical rooms are.?? Much less their rest rooms...Hospitals janitors are barely visible and underpaid at best... 😕😨
I don't know where you live but the hospitals here are spotless
uvc robots... literally are made and clean bacteria far faster.. already automated in city hospitals as people leave, the robot goes in and uses UVC
Conflict of "interest"?
Well, I guess it's time to cancel my hospital staycation plans. I was really looking forward to catching up on my reading and trying out the hospital food, but I don't think I want to risk getting infected by this fungus. Thanks for the heads up.
Don’t be silly you will be fine x
My mom is in a nursing home, and her room mates keep dying. It seems like there should be a punchline to this story, but Mom isn't as dastardly as this might suggest. I'm genuinely worried.
When you first notice?
If its capable of mutating, what's to say it can't turn is into zombies?
Scientists cannot overpower the layman's fears.
I'm much more concerned with what it does now fungus infection inside you is no fucking joke. If it goes airborne which I'm really hoping hasn't already happened.
So... What you're saying is that there's Fungus Amungus!!!
I don't even like eating mushrooms but apparently they have no qualms about nibbling on me a little.
There are two types of mushroom producing mycelia that interact with live organisms- the ones that benefit the organism (trees for example) or the ones that attack the organism like a parasite. Musroom producing mycelia can be very beneficial to humans, like the ones that break down dead organic material and produce edible mushrooms.
Scientists are working on new ways to use fungi for humanity. There are many types of edible mushrooms to try.
@@mikejensen4238 I have been a big fan of Dr. G for years! He recommends only cooked mushrooms. I forget what he said is the danger of raw mushrooms. I eat mushrooms almost every day.
@@mikejensen4238 I sure didn't report them to RUclips. I have been in debates with trolls who do that and my replies disappear. One thing that could explain what happened is that RUclips has a hidden policy enforced by bots which often auto delete newer comments that include any links that aren't to RUclips videos. I have learned to avoid that in my comments here on YT.
@@mikejensen4238 I think YT does this to avoid possible commercial spam advertising in the comments section.
@@mikejensen4238 This showed up in my notifications, but when I clicked on it, your reply vanished! "Mike Jensen replied: "Some Guy - - As a follow-up to my earlier reply, I went to Dr. Greger's YT channel and asked the question. Right at the top of the list of videos that came up was this one, titled "Is It Safe To Ea.."
So I'm riddled with it...noone here will lsiten nor prove wrong
And watch me coz I'm going keep telling
Why not call it a yeast?
STOP GEOENGINEERING
@@DgurlSunshine sorry, what!
@@DgurlSunshine 😂
So not cordyceps
Fungus among us.
Fungi are like cockroaches. Tough as frick but really creepy.
Go to the hospital and get sicker. I'll stay home thanks
The fungus its here...
The Acoriupsis fungus..
Its frog THE LAST OF US
Im immune
Candita mutated
This is terrifying. The possibilities. Along with everything else secondary to climate change. It's overwhelming.
organize the working class. there is no other way. less production is needed and degrowth as well. that means we have to abolith the profit motive as under it corporations needs to grow all the time. we need to take the means of production, organize labour around needs.
Humans are evolving too. I know lots of people think we're not evolving anymore, but silently, slowly, we're gradually adapting too. The fittest among us will pass on our genes to the next gen, blah, blah, evolution. Fungi are smart in a different way than humans, so let's see which intelligent species continues to dominate the playing field. My absurdist levels have reached OVER 9,000 since starting chemo at the same time covid was becoming news.
So what's new?
It's going to get worth, before it gets better!
Mike Tyson?
Capitalism always does that especially in Healthcare
@@billmarshall7733 lol😂
Thanks Big oil.
These are the covid experts talking LOL
I can not trust them. Maybe this is deadly but it likely is another bioweapon that is being tested or "leaked"
Yuppers an because of convide no one will believe the people trying to warn us. It's not accidental.
predictive programing . eat ze bugz
muh climate change is responsible for eeverything. Give all your money to the rich people.
I fukin knew it! This bacteria WONT GO AWAY!!!
Fungus
@@gordybishop2375
Fungus is bacteria foooooool
@@encarnacionvillazana3270 fungi are a totally separate classification from plants and animals buddy.
@@encarnacionvillazana3270 this remedial science video might help your education on the difference of bacteria and fungi. Thank me later

@@encarnacionvillazana3270no but they're certain to work together killing people.
Amogus
Is the fungi truly global?
If not, never mind the Climb Chg ~~~
Climate change hits everywhere so even if it is not it causes many things
@@JackSnow02517the air probably? That's Possibly very unfortunate for humanity. How you know this if you can say?
Climate Change Braim Fungus. CCBF. 🤣
all the Maybe & perhaps & speculation makes for news that's not news
This is why I don’t have health insurance and this is why I avoid hospitals and emergency rooms like the plague 😂
Sounds like a personal hygiene problem not properly attended by qualified caregivers.
The sun went behind a cloud and I stubbed my toe in the shadows ~ Climb Chg?!?!?
Climate change gives organisms more chance for adaptation to different conditions…then mutations survive and finds places to live that are new.
We all have fungi and bacteria and viruses around us just waiting for opportunities to enter our bodies. We breath in the microscopic spores. It’s not about whipping you butt or washing your hands. Look up Valley Fever
Climate change 😂
Just use UV-C light to kill off the fungi. Its that simple
California's ignoring of disease control problems came to light during the pandemic. Temporarily got better but now, people are back to negligence. Oversight is gone again.
O.k Trump. Put that light inside you….lol.
Rofl assuming hospitals will exercise common sense bwahahahahahahahahaha.
We could deplete the ozone layer quicker therefore UVC will be present through the Sun. Just another positive of global warming
Yeah, because light can reach everywhere, right? *sigh*.
Fear, control, manipulation is what they do! Lord Jesus Christ is our true Savior🙏🏼❤️🕊REPENT, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
You had me at _"Fear, Control and Manipulation is what they do"_ but lost me with the rest of it. 🤷♂
Being informed is not a bad thing. Your reactions are the issue
@@TheUncleRuckus wait and see at the judgement day. 😄

Looks like that Fungus got into your brains, brother.
