#3"First identified in the ear of a woman in Japan in 2009 (“auris” is Latin for “ear”), the germ has spread around the globe, mostly appearing in hospitals and nursing homes, where it afflicts people with weakened immune systems."
Looks like it managed to spread without much hindrance due to its immunity. Wonder just how common it'll get since it's so hard to get rid of.

#4Did anybody tried to apply blackseed and garlic light deep - fried coconut oil concoction? Just curious, sharing as it is our sub tropical Assam-Burma jungle traditional remedy for anything and everything fungal infection since time immemorial.
Regards to all.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "blackseed and garlic light deep - fried coconut oil concoction?"

I'm wondering if they tried chicken noodle soup. That's been my family's home remedy for sickness and considering we seem to get better after every cold, it has a 100% success rate.
To be less sardonic, it's an unreasonable question because it has zero scientific basis. I've had naturopathic family members attempt to give things to children that were definitely not safe in any shape or form.

It is very unlikely that western doctors in a major hospital would use a traditional jungle remedy that has limited clinical support. I did a quick skim and the clinical support isn't very good.
(none of this is to say it's not effective, just that it's unlikely western doctors would do this based on current clinical evidence)

Yes, because trial and error over thousands of years of trying local flora couldn't possibly yield a solution from an eco-system that has to actively fight off fungal infections. /sarcasm

Per the article, the fungus was in her bloodstream - I think mainlining fried coconut oil is probably contraindicated.
