You know, just because we could all use a refresher course on #candidaAuris
#Fomites are still a thing but #airborne IS VERY MUCH a thing too🖤🖤🖤

Oh ffs..
Incubation can be high as a month?
#candidaAuris
You know practice does make much much better.. if you’re not practicing germaphobia level hygiene, would get on that.. like yesterday #fomite matters too as does #airborne protections
I’d rather get #monkeypox ? I’d rather get nothing but you really don’t want this…
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."
Extremely Deadly 'Drug-Resistant' Superbug Spreading In #NewYork

Oh FFS
I’m always that annoying person in class that raises her hand & asks questions nobody else does b/c.. idk why they don’t tbh
How prevalent is this outside the hospital? Can’t an #asymtomatic person just touch everything anywhere?
Yay me being a germaphobe going on.. ever since I moved here 15~ years ago🙄
Btw, if it spreads in NY that means it’ll get in planes to CA & the NorthEast generally b/c what happens in NY does not stay in NY

Every time they say rare these days….🤨🚨🚨🚨
Maybe it’s just a me thing, BUT RAMPANT FUNGUS FREAKS ME OUT🤦🏻♀️
If you stop the primary problem… usually it alleviates secondary issues🙄

Spraying rubbing alcohol… idk how this had never occurred to me
Fomites for Covid isn’t the issue.. it’s tinea or the like that is my primary concern
Tbh I should buy isopropyl in bulk😂if it is even sold that way…
**it is sold in bulk
again idk why it has never occurred to me before🤦🏻♀️
@eniko
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but the fungal/yeast thing is definitely freaking me out & just b/c it wasn’t a huge issue prior to 2020, doesn’t mean it can’t escalate quickly
After my infections, either coincidentally or b/c weakened immune system, I show symptoms barely touching things within <1 hour. Use ketozonacle shampoo as spot treatment just in case
As immune systems further break down from asymptomatic Covid infections in mass, this will proliferate
The one silver lining when Pandemic initially began was people became correct hand washers, but that has fallen by the wayside
Hilariously I had been trying to ease up on my don’t touch objects you can just wash your hands, but did a quick U-turn😂 Happy for years.. decades tbh, of practice 😁😇✋🏼🧼🫧🫧
