Clinical Information
Fusarium causes extremely dangerous skin infections. The symptoms are similar in appearance to Strep A, "the flesh eating" bacteria. Many experts compare the symptoms to that of leprosy.
Ulcerations or infections of the face, hands, and body are very graphic. Once infected, most persons stay bed ridden for a considerable period.
Further debilitates the immune system of already suppressed persons.
Prolonged use of antibiotics, which are used to treat Fusarium infections, further debilitates the immune system making it more difficult to fight off other infections.
Preliminary analysis reveals that Fusarium has been linked to impotence.
