Inadvertent Pumping in too much of Zinc!could this also be contributing to this epidemic of #mucormycosis #blackfungus in association with other risk factors...!? @MoHFW_INDIA @ProfSomashekhar @BagaiDr @iiscbangalore @ShamikaRavi @ICMRDELHI @ARanganathan72

ipen.br/biblioteca/200… is this coincidental...!!

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… we seem to be pushing the already susceptible by feeding the #BlackFungus with more and more #zinc by negating the “nutritional immunity”...

nature.com/articles/s4158…. In this article about High-dimensional characterization of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19, a peculiar thing to note is about the incidence of sequelae and their association with #zinc ...! Coincidental? #Mucormycosis #BlackFungus @EricTopol

doi: 10.1093/femsre/fux050 quite a lot of important evidences point towards inadvertent usage of #zinc and its contribution to this #Mucormycosis #BlackFungus menace.. @ICMRDELHI @MoHFW_INDIA need to probe further & till then to stop this blanket administration of #zinc to all

blogs.scientificamerican.com/lab-rat/how-fu… a fantastic blog on how fungi steal #zinc from a #human #cell

To summarise.... these factors could be at play... needs to be validated though
