As funny as it sounds at first glance, Candida is seriously no joke. Even Candida Albicans. Basically you don't need to have a dirty vag to have a yeast infection, or a vagina at all. Oral thrush bothers everyone and penis and rear end yeast infections exist. If you are predisposed to it, Candida Albicans can hang out almost anywhere in your body that it chooses.It's incredibly annoying and can even be dangerous if left untreated or your strain resists treatment. If you are prone to infection it will also very quickly "learn" to be resistant to most forms of the drug. When I was a teen I had serious Candida issues and even now as an adult, who uses ALL sensitive scentless everything and takes probiotic pills daily, my vag is fine but I still get oral thrush every 5 minutes despite good tooth brushing habits. Basically for someone like me, even with my hygiene and diet on point, just to keep it in check I have to use nothing scented including lotions, take daily probiotics, and be really careful about excess sugar. Also people way overhype coconut oil and homeopathic stuff should never be used on its own, but it honestly helps a ton to eat a spoonful of it a day.

Candida flare-ups appear to be related to lovely immune systems (in my case, possibly caused by my endometriosis?) and science hasn't really caught up with how to deal with the chronic version besides "take more pills", which obviously fuels the fire and makes resistance worse in the long run.

Basically if its cousin has the same stubborness to resistance and spreads worldwide, ANYONE with any immune system issues at all is going to be turbofucked.

I'm worried about this. I got Candida issues and a poo poo immune response to it and have to do similar rituals to keep it in control, lest I have to go on corticosteroids steroids and antifungals. I've heard the same thing with the coconut oil because it contains caprylic and lauric acids, which bore into the yeast cells to help kill 'em off.

The moment robots are good enough to replace all forms of manual labour and military there will be a sudden outbreak of an incredibly deadly and infectious disease unlike anything ever seen. It will suddenly be everywhere at once, making containment impossible. It will seem to be wiping out everyone equally, but if anyone was capable of gathering data in all the chaos they would see that the families of powerful and wealthy people are all unaffected. Almost as if they are immune to it.

Humans have been fighting horrible diseases since antiquity. For example sickle cell anemia is thought to have developed as a response to malaria, because malaria was so dangerous that our bodies decided the risk of blood cell mutations was better than the disease. If an outbreak of deathyeast broke out today you may die, half the planet may die, and I would absolutely die, but its highly likely just enough humans would survive and breed while evolving better immune system responses to it. I think since every human alive has already had Candida exposure, even worst case scenario we would evolve a resistance eventually.

Only thing I can think of that would be an immediate global threat that is instant (besides nukes) is part 2 of the 1918 Spanish flu. That’s because the Flu mutates at a ridiculous speed and can’t even be treated besides symptom easing. It’s a roll of the dice that we don’t get a deadly strain each year and even with the flu shot, big cities and crowded third world countries would be decimated.

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take
---------------------------->
Fungi are actually kinda poo poo as infectious agents because they're really easy pickings for the immune system because they are relatively more complex compared to bacteria and viruses which makes them reproduce slower in a hostile environment which makes them adapt slower

Our immune systems are actually extremely good at what they do which is why the fungus the op is talking about is the most dangerous for people with weakened ones
