I just happened to hear about this, on today’s 11pm ‘BBC News‘ — albeit in the context of India. They have declared it an epidemic. That is not good.

As far as I can see Mucormycosis is not an issue of concern in the U.S. as yet. But, as you can see above diabetics are particularly susceptible & we have a LOT of diabetics — especially among the non-caucasians (& I am thinking, in particular, about my beloved Navajo).

Well, we don’t want to get blindsided again. So, we better bone up on this ASAP & find how we are going to combat it. I don’t think we can bury our heads in the sand. Like the COVID variants this is likely to find its way to the U.S.

This could be serious. Folks are losing eyes!
