Historically, most fungi do not cause disease in humans, meaning they are not “pathogenic”.

This is because – unlike viruses and bacteria – most fungi cannot survive or spread in body temperatures of 37C.

But, as global temperatures rise, some fungi are adapting to survive in hotter environments, including the human body.

Taking systemic antifungals also SUCKS according to the people I know who have had to.

Maybe a fungus is the next apex species. They are more patient than us and might just be waiting out our self-demise.
