There's a fun-gus among-gus.
I cringe every time my wife eats black fungus. Says it tastes good but can't get past the appearance and what it is.

Q: Why did the fungi leave the party?
A: Cuz there wasn't mushroom.

Not only India.
In Japan with its high summer humidity I was very prone to athletes foot but in the UK not at all.
Without air conditioning Japan might very well be in a position similar to what India is experiencing.

Newly emerging diseases usually take a lot of the attention of the public, but old diseases becoming dangerous should also be something to take care of, TB is making a come back, some people are worried about Yellow Fever, fungal infections resisting treatment can also become a huge public health problem in the near future.

Fungi are highly adaptable and can be "trained" to break down and consume pretty much anything - including antifungal agents. They've been used to break down cigarette butts, microplastics, oil spills etc. Pretty amazing organisms that we're just beginning to learn about.

Great. That's all we need now. Not only viruses but also fungal infections becoming deadly. Brave new world.
