Fungus is an important element in the decaying process.Fungus with the right moisture and temperature helps to break down organic matter into micro nutrients and these nutrients supply other organisms with nourishment . Fungus also produce other chemical compounds that can be used as medicine ,plus some fungus can be used for food.

There is a couple of ways that mold can make you sick (I assume you're talking about inhalation of mold).  Certian molds release substances that are toxic to the body, breathing them in introduces the toxins to the body and can make one very sick.\n\nThe second, and probably most common way molds make you sick is by causing an allergic reaction when inhaled.  Like pollen, dust, and other allergens, this reaction can range from mild to very severe.

My best guess would be Mycobacterium tuberculosis.  Both C. immitis and H. capsulatum have the potential to cause chronic pulmonary disease.  Also, chronic histoplasmosis can cause coin-shaped lesions that resemble tuberculosis.

Yeast organisms are always present in all people, but are usually prevented from "overgrowth" (uncontrolled multiplication resulting in symptoms) by naturally occurring microorganisms.\nCandidiasis is alleged to be successfully treated either with home remedies or, in the case of a more severe infection, with either over the counter or prescription antifungal medications. Home remedies for candidiasis include the consumption or direct application of yogurt, which contains lactobacillus (probiotics, "friendly" bacteria that kill yeast), acidophilus tablets or salves, and even lightly crushed cloves of garlic, which yield allicin, an antifungal. Boric acid has also been used to treat yeast infections. \n indicated, an underlying reason should be looked for. As an example, oral candidiasis is often linked to the use of inhaled steroids in asthma medication. Patients on long term inhaled steroids should rinse their mouth after each dose of steroids. It can also be the first sign of a more serious condition, such as HIV.

i think human diseases r interesting. besides that, how bout healing properties of some tradisional herbs/plants? i'm currently working on pathogenic bacteria. maybe u can try to look into pathogens too? since pathogen like SARS, avian influenza and HIV are emerging problems for mankind... most importantly, which area r u interested?

Chlamydia infection is caused by the organism Chlamydia trachomatis. It is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. Sexually active individuals and individuals with multiple partners are at highest risk.\nThere are many other species of Chlamydiae that live in the cells of animals (including humans), insects, or protozoa. Two of these species cause lung infection in humans: Chlamydophila pneumoniae and Chlamydophila psittaci. Both of these species previously belonged to the genus Chlamydia.\nPlease see the web pages for more details on Chlamydia.

The common fungi responsible for allergies in humans are Alternaria, Aspergillus, Penicillium and Cladosporium.  Aspergillus and Penicillium  grow quite happily in your basement in summer and Cladosporium is the dark brown mould that grows around the edge of the bath or shower stall or even on the ceiling in bathrooms.  All of these fungi belong in the Deuteromycota and produce large numbers of spores that become airborne (bioaerosols) and are inhaled to cause pulmonary problems in humans and sometimes animals.  \n\nThere are over 150 species in the Aspergillus genus, only a few of which may be found indoors or may be potentially pathogenic, or harmful to the health of humans and animals. This genus is found world-wide, and is especially common in the Northern Hemisphere in autumn and winter. Most people are naturally immune to the effects of Aspergillis, but when disease occurs, it may take on several forms. Aspergillus produces many well known toxins such as aflatoxins, ochratoxins, and sterigmatocystin. Aflatoxin from Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus are associated with stored peanuts and grains.\n\nCladosporium is the most common of the “black molds.” It produces a black pigment that is useful in protection from Ultraviolet light, which may explain why it is so common in nature. Certain species in this genus are pathogenic, but no major mycotoxins are associated with Cladosporium.

Are you asking about conventional treatment or alternative treatment? \n\nTreatment depends upon the perception of the problem. I encourage you to look into the link between fungal infection and scleroderma. There's a lot of information out there, but conventional doctors probably won't know much about it because they get very little training about mycotoxins in medical school. I know, because my son's a doctor, lol!

Fungi and yeast are different. Yeast are relatively easy to kill while fungi are not. I'd say it's a bad idea to use antifungal liquids on your larynx. This could cause permanent damage. Please go to a doctor or nurse practitioner or other qualified health care professional.

Examples of common human diseases caused by viruses include the common cold, the flu, chickenpox and cold sores. Serious diseases such as Ebola, AIDS, bird flu and SARS are all also caused by viruses. The relative ability of viruses to cause disease is described in terms of virulence. Other diseases are under investigation as to whether they too have a virus as the causative agent, such as the possible connection between Human Herpesvirus Six (HHV6) and neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis and chronic fatigue syndrome. Recently it was also shown that cervical cancer is partially caused by papillomavirus, representing evidence in humans of a link existing between cancer and an infective agent[4]. There is current controversy over whether the borna virus, previously thought of as causing neurological disease in horses, could be responsible for psychiatric illness in humans[5].\n\nViruses have many different mechanisms by which they produce disease in an organism, which largely depends on the species. Mechanisms at the cellular level primarily include cell lysis, the breaking open and subsequent death of the cell. In multicellular organisms, if enough cells die the whole organism will start to suffer the effects. Although many viruses result in the disruption of healthy homeostasis, resulting in disease, they may also exist relatively harmlessly within an organism. An example would include the ability of the herpes simplex virus, which cause coldsores, to remain in a dormant state within the human body.\n\nhope this helps

Although you probably are familiar with the fact that pneumonia can be caused by infection, the word pneumonia (or pneumonitis) actually refers to any kind of inflammation of the lungs. This inflammation is caused by the body's reaction to some irritant, usually an infectious agent or an inhaled chemical, and results in an accumulation of fluid and pus deep in the lungs.\n\nTypes of pneumonia\nThere are many kinds of pneumonia:\n\nInfectious pneumonia (see below)\n\nWalking pneumonia is pneumonia that is usually mild enough that the child does not have to stay in bed.\n\nDouble pneumonia is pneumonia that affects both lungs.\n\nForeign body aspiration pneumonia is caused by inhaling a small object like a peanut.\n\nAllergic pneumonia (usually known as allergic pneumonitis) is triggered by various allergens.\n\nAspiration pneumonia is caused by breathing liquid, such as swimming pool water or vomit, into the lungs.\n\nChemical pneumonia is caused by inhalation of chemicals from the air, such as from a chlorine gas leak.\nInfectious pneumonia\nThis is, by far, the most common type of pneumonia. In children, it often is so mild that it's mistaken for a bad cold or the flu and goes undiagnosed. In fact, both colds and the flu can lead to pneumonia. Most categories of organisms--including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites--can cause pneumonia, but viral and bacterial causes are encountered most frequently\n\nThe overwhelming majority of viral pneumonia in children is caused by influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza, or adenovirus. Measles is an important cause of pneumonia in many developing countries and can cause severe, or even fatal, infection in any child who is not immunized.\n\nCauses of bacterial pneumonia include Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococci), Haemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus (staph), pertussis (whooping cough), and streptococci. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common cause of walking pneumonia. Pneumocystis carinii is a type of pneumonia usually seen only in children with decreased host defenses (such as those on chemotherapy for cancer or with HIV/AIDS), although it can be found occasionally in otherwise healthy newborns.\n\nDetermining the cause of pneumonia is important to ensure that a child receives appropriate therapy. For example, antibiotics can work wonders in children with bacterial pneumonia, but they may cause only a temporary benefit, if any, after a peanut has been inhaled--in which case, the only cure is to remove the peanut
