What Is Vampire Fungus?
Question: I have several stomach problems and yesterday ran on an article about "Vampire Fungus" . Since it sounded like a normal day of my life, and after having so many test done could you tell me if there is such a disease? YYYY@YYYY
Brief Answer:
no need to panic
Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic
I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.
The term 'vampire fungus' is used as descriptor for pythium oligandrum, an oomycete sometimes employed in treatments for athlete's foot and nail fungus.
The vampire fungus threat is nothing but simply candida.Overgrowth of fungus will lead to yeast infection which is not serious in most of the cases.
.So dont panic.
I hope my answer was helpful for you . Dont forget to close the discussion.Thank you.
