New Delhi: The coronavirus is wreaking havoc in the country and there has been a flood of fake news and rumours. Everyone is posting anything on social media without thinking anything and it is considered true by most irrational people. Such news is followed by people who do not have the depth of knowledge and the conscience to think for themselves. Believing in news without evidence is not only dangerous, but also promoting bad impact thinking in society. Often governments advise people to stay away from such reports, but there is such aeports that it seems extremely difficult to get rid of it.

One such post is fast going viral on social media these days. This post asks to be careful of black fungus. The post claims that when you buy onions, if a black layer is sitting on top of it, understand that it is black fungus. Similarly, the rubber within the fridge also climbs into the black layer. It's also black fungus itself. If you don't pay attention to it, the vegetable in the fridge will absorb these black fungus and enter your body. This will make you infected with black fungus mucormycosis. Not only that, all the foods in the fridge will be contaminated with black fungus.

The black moss that is frozen inside the fridge or the black layer that is mounted on the onion is completely different from the black fungus 'mucormycosis'. It has nothing to do with black fungus. This claim is completely baseles. Dr. Randeep Guleria, director of the AIIMS, said that in fact, the name of the black fungus is wrong, because the black fungus is not black. He explained that black fungus stops the blood supply to the skin causing black spots on the skin. Perhaps that's why black fungus or fungus has become named. The name of the Black Fungus is mucormycosis.

What are the ways to avoid it?
Dr. Guleria explains the measures to avoid black fungus, saying that a person who is constantly taking steroids or having to take steroids due to a disease may get any fungus. There is also a mucormycosis among them. It affects the eye, nose and brain. In some cases it also infects the lungs. Thus the best way to prevent black fungus is not to use steroids. Then control the sugar. People who are not suffering from this disease should reduce the amount of sugar in the food.
