Oh fantastic. It’s one of them #asymptomatic carrier #TyphoidMary deals too🤦🏻‍♀️
Lovely.

“This dangerous #fungus can be spread by people who aren't even sick themselves. The CDC warns: "Someone who is colonized can still transmit C. auris onto surfaces or objects that they contact, which can then spread it to other patients."
