Yellow parasite disease is chiefly brought about by lack of cleanliness. It is vital to wipe out the nook and corner of your home and keep it clean. Eliminate old food waste and fecal matter straight away to stop the development of microorganisms and parasites.

The dampness of the house is likewise significant as an excess of moistness can advance the development of microbes and growth. The right dampness level is 30% to 40%.

A few states have announced the infection as an epidemic. There are at present 8,848 instances of Black Fungus cases across India. White Fungus then again is supposed to be less severe. The vast majority of these cases are found in individuals with diabetes or those who had heavily used steroids in COVID-19 treatment.
