00:00The COVID-19 virus has got nothing to do with eukaryotic mycosis.
00:04So it's basically 99% our creation, that is the patient's creation.
00:08Starting steroid is very simple, stopping it is very difficult.
00:11Mycosis is a Latin word for fungus and the mucor is a species of fungus that causes this
00:33problem.
00:34This infection involves the nasal cavity, the sinuses that occur here below the cheek,
00:38the eyes, and then the brain and the lung.
00:52Somebody who is on drugs has low immunity.
01:07Some people who are on steroids, which is a big problem in our country, also lowering
01:10immunity.
01:11And of course, diabetics.
01:12People are popping in steroids from day one, you go to a hospital, you've been popping
01:36in steroids, you go to an emergency, doctor is out to save you, he will give you a steroid
01:41over and above all.
01:51So we have a perfect storm, we've got steroids, lowered immunity, steroids causing increased
01:56glucose and of course diabetes.
01:58So it's basically 99% our creation, that is the patient's creation.
02:02The COVID-19 virus has got nothing to do with mucormycosis, we created a perfect medium
02:08for the fungus to grow.
02:14They are wonderful drugs to be used at the right time, in the right way, in the right
02:18dose.
02:19Starting steroid is very simple, stopping it is very difficult.
02:22If you are diabetic, please be very cautious.
02:29One should not get too anxious, one should not get too worried about it, it's not going
02:34to happen to everybody, it's an uncommon thing.
02:59The problem is that this fungus invades the tissues very fast and from the nose it goes
03:09to the eye, from the eye it goes to the brain.
03:11So it can get very fatal actually, it's not something that you can leave.
03:16If people stop misusing steroids on their own and chemists stop dispensing steroids
03:22to anybody who comes to the shop, I think you can handle this, it will not be such a
03:25big issue.
