Most fungi are not dangerous, but some types can be harmful to health, and people with deficient immune systems are more vulnerable to symptomatic infection. T Fungal skin infections affect an estimated 29 million people nationwide. Since fungi reproduce through tiny spores in the air, fungal infections often start in the lungs or on the skin.
Fungi can be difficult to kill. For skin and nail infections, you can apply medicine directly to the infected area. Oral antifungal medicines are also available for serious infections.
