New Delhi: Experts say that the use of zinc in the treatment of corona virus can cause the infection of black fungus. Researchers say that the presence of zinc and iron in the human body creates the ideal environment for black fungus. So it is time to think about the use of zinc in corona treatment.

As many as 9,000 people have been infected with black fungus in the country till May 22. None of them have been infected with the black fungus in the latter case. Doctors are of the opinion that the infection is spread from soil and biodegradable organic matter. So far, 212 people have died of black fungus. Of these, 90 are from Maharashtra and 61 from Gujarat.

Doctors say that if the human body’s immune system is weakened, the chances of getting infected with black fungus are high. According to them, those whose blood sugar level is not controlled, those who use steroids, are more likely to get this disease. The concern is that even among young people, the risk of contracting black fungus remains high due to low immunity.

Black fungus has already been declared epidemic in Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Odisha, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Telangana and Chandigarh. These states have declared black fungus as an epidemic in their states on the instructions of the Union Ministry of Health. The Union Ministry of Health has directed the states to strictly adhere to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health. The Union Ministry of Health has directed to closely monitor those who are suffering from pneumonia due to ventilator, those who have hemorrhagic infections due to catheters, those who have urinary tract infections due to catheters, those who have been infected after the operation, those suffering from gastrointestinal diseases. Because they are more likely to be infected with black fungus.

VK Pal, a member of the health department of the policy commission, said on Saturday, “Excessive use of steroids during corona treatment.
The cause of black fungus. However, other causes of black fungus infection are being investigated. However, coronary heart disease patients need to stop using zinc. ” Rajiv Joydevan, former president of IMA, said, “The presence of zinc and iron in all the metals present in the human body creates ideal conditions for the growth of black fungus in the body. However, more research is needed on the relationship between zinc and black fungus. ”

Giridhar Babu, an epidemiologist at the Public Health Foundation of India, said: However, there may be other causes of this disease. Maybe because of giving oxygen or having other diseases in the body, people get infected with black fungus. Just treating the fungus will not find the source of the black fungus. This requires a committee of qualified fungi specialists and biomechanical engineers who will be able to find the real cause of the black fungus infection. ”
