Be careful the next time you garden.
Due to a rising number of patients with"severe viral respiratory tract infections," researchers are looking to better understand how and why this resistance is occurring—and agricultural fungicides appear to be the root of the problem., the study's senior author and genomic epidemiology fellow at ICL, told Insider that a"hefty dose of fungicide" is generally enough to kill"It's like building up a tan gradually," Rhodes said.
The fungi identified in the study had become resistant prior to infecting human lungs, researchers found, not during treatment in hospital settings. This creates a major issue for immunocompromised patients—and can even be deadly, Insider reported.Maridav / Shutterstock Researchers are working to confront this issue and stressed the need to better understand"environmental drivers and the genetic basis of fungal drug resistance." As Rhodes told Insider, drug-resistantis present"virtually everywhere," due to the fact that mold spores can travel in the air. In doing so, spores can also spread their genetic information to other mold colonies that have never had to confront azoles.
This information may seem disheartening, but you can be proactive about protecting yourself, Rhodes said. Leaving windows open can help prevent buildup in the home, she told Insider, and when gardening or handling compost, it is also helpful to don one of those trusty N95 masks.
