Around us are fungi. One can find their minuscule spores in the ground and in the air. While most of these mushrooms are benign, other varieties can seriously afflict some people.

Although they can develop anywhere in your body, fungal infections usually start on your skin.

Though most might produce some discomfort—redness and itching on the skin, for example—they are readily treatable with over-the-counter or prescription drugs.

Sometimes these skin infections progress and do not heal, perhaps setting off sepsis.

Particularly if your immune system is compromised, the danger of infection increases when a fungus is breathed or otherwise introduced into your body.

Those with compromised immune systems are more likely than those with normal immune systems to acquire sepsis following fungal infections.
