We've been collecting and studying deadly fungi for over 100 years in order to improve diagnosis & treatment of infections 🔬

Fabulous fungi is what we study,
In the science and art that is mycology,
Yeasts and moulds that cause rot and decay,
Or fermentation when rot goes great,
That’s right without them, no beer, bread, or kimchi
Or kombucha, kefir, some of these involve a SCOBY,
That’s yeast and bacteria to you and me,
Working in sweet but sour harmony,
But fungi aren’t always so great,
As Johnny Cash found when eating beans once again,
Fungi can infect humans and cause disease,
Especially those with weakened immunity,
But leading research to help us treat and understand,
Is the National Mycology Reference Laboratory,
And their wonderful collection of things that are deadly,
And maybe one day if we’re really lucky,
We’ll, just like Fleming before, find another Penicillium.

Preventing Dengue:
🦟 Eliminate stagnant water.
👕 Wear long sleeves, pants, and use mosquito repellent.
🚪 Use screens and nets to keep mosquitoes out.
🤝 Community awareness for mosquito control.
Early Diagnosis Importance:
⏰ Swift treatment for better recovery.
🚨 Prevent severe complications.
👩⚕️ Effective disease management.
🌍 Reduces transmission risk.
💼 Efficient resource allocation.
