A drug-resistant fungus is on the rise in American hospitals, targeting patients who already reeling from illness.
New cases have been identified in Georgia and Florida hospitals, according to The Hill.
Candida auris has been in the U.S. since 2016, but cases have increased annually through 2023, the most recent year for which the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have data.
“We’ve had four people at one time on and off, over the past few months, and in years past, it was unusual to have one or even two people with Candida Auris in our hospital,” Dr. Timothy Connelly at Memorial Health in Savannah said, according to WJCL-TV.
JoAnna Wagner from the Georgia Department of Public Health said Georgia has had more than 1,300 cases through February.
The fungus spreads through medical equipment that enters the body, such as breathing tubes, feeding tubes, or catheters.
The kicker? Traditional cleaning solutions or disinfectants do not touch the fungus.
“Many of the disinfectants that are EPA-registered and historically used by hospitals and medical facilities are not effective against C. Auris,” Wagner said.
The CDC called Candida auris “an urgent antimicrobial resistance threat” in 2023, The Hill noted, and it is sounding the alarm again
“The rapid rise and geographic spread of cases is concerning and emphasizes the need for continued surveillance, expanded lab capacity, quicker diagnostic tests, and adherence to proven infection prevention and control,” Dr. Meghan Lyman, an epidemiologist with the CDC, said, according to the Los Angeles Times.
“If you get infected with this pathogen that’s resistant to any treatment, there’s no treatment we can give you to help combat it. You’re all on your own,” Melissa Nolan, an assistant professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of South Carolina, said, according to Nexstar
Nolan said the fungus adapts to endure.
“It’s really good at just being, generally speaking, in the environment,” Nolan said.
“So if you have it on a patient’s bed for example, on the railing, and you go to wipe everything down, if in whatever way maybe a couple of pathogens didn’t get cleared, then they’re becoming resistant. And so over time, they can kind of grow and populate in that hospital environment,” she said.
Because the fungus hits those in health care settings, its targets are those who are already sick.
The CDC has estimated that “based on information from a limited number of patients, 30–60% of people with C. auris infections have died. However, many of these people had other serious illnesses that also increased their risk of death,” The Hill reported.
“Most of the patients that get infections with Candida auris are themselves pretty sick to start with,” Stuart Cohen, chief of infectious diseases at UC Davis, said, according to the LA Times. “This is something that can push people over the edge and become life-threatening.”
Cohen said hospitals need to take steps to limit infections.
“The goal is, first and foremost, to keep the people in your hospital safe,” Cohen said. “When somebody comes in for a procedure, they’re not expecting to go home with a life-threatening illness or having spent time in an ICU from a hospital infection.” source
Brethren, I remember when this fungus was rampant back in the Covid days. If the CDC is being truthful about this, then I think it is prudent to avoid ER’s and hospital rooms as much as we can. Maybe urgent care is a better choice than an ER.
GOD IS IN CONTROL. We must always remember that!
Hard to believe ammonia won’t kill it on surfaces. Lysol kills CV19 in less than 15 seconds. Moreover are they saying autoclaves won’t touch it?
As far as “no treatments” for it, what about Ivermectin, Fenbendazole/Menbendazole?
There’s also DMSO and CDS or MMS.
Yes, staying out of hospitals is the best way to go.
I don’t know the answers to your questions 🙁
That’s okay, Geri 🙂 I don’t know either, but the truth is for me, if I ever contracted that fungus, since the hospital officials say there’s no treatment, I’d try all the things I mentioned in my previous reply. The worse case scenario is that I’d still die, but maybe not.
I honestly cannot believe that Ivermectin with Fenbendazole or Menbendazole wouldn’t treat it especially considering the fact that numerous doctors (Makis, Kory et al), are all highlighting the benefits of IVM with other drugs like Fenbendazole/Menbendazole for cancers and other things. Turns out IVM is truly a miracle drug, but Pharma doesn’t make that much money off it, certainly not compared to chemo treatments.
Like I said in my first response, I fully agree with you that staying out of hospitals in the first place (whenever possible), is the best first line of defense.
The pharmaceutical companies HATE Ivermectin!!
Yep, which is one reason we’ve stocked up on😎
I’m sorry – having brain fog today. You stocked up on what?
Ivermectin👍🏼
YES! We did too …….
It’s always something…good thing WHO can’t “intervene” & shut down the whole country as the OBiden dictators wished according to their globalist masters/agenda.
Thank the Lord Jesus for using Trump to stop our loss of sovereignty at least for now.
Yes you are CORRECT that Big Pharm hate Ivermectin. It is all about control and depopulation.
And making billions and billions of $$$
Hypochlorous acid is supposed to kill 99% plus of all bacteria, viruses, fungus and molds, and is evidently used in some hospitals and schools. These hospitals must not be aware of it. In the right proportion it kills in 60 seconds. And it is totally safe and nontoxic. You can use it anywhere except to drink it. You can even wash fruit and veggies with it.
I found this just now…….
