WHAT IS YELLOW FUNGUS?
Yellow fungus is a new fungal infection that is more dangerous than black fungus and white fungus.
SYMPTOMS OF YELLOW FUNGUS :
Lethargy, weight loss, low appetite, or no appetite at all are said to be common symptoms of yellow fungus. Yellow fungus can lead to leakage of pus and slow healing of the open wound besides lethargy and appetite issue. It can also lead to organ failure and sunken eyes due to eventual necrosis.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF YELLOW FUNGUS?
Yellow fungus causes can range from high humidity to old food, as the primary cause is said to be bad hygiene. Make sure that no food is getting spoilt and is disposed off properly. There should not be any fecal matter and should be cleaned as soon as possible to keep bacteria and fungus from growing.
Humidity in a closed space such as house or office, should not be above the 30-40% range as high moisture environments promote the growth of fungus.
