A week after 32-year-old Sanil Nair left a hospital’s COVID-19 intensive care unit, he started feeling pain in his cheekbones and getting headaches. 

“At first, we thought it was sinus,” his wife Snehal Ranjan told VICE World News, adding that her husband has diabetes and other comorbidities.

“We got an MRI scan done and found out he had black fungus,” she said. An endoscopy later revealed “a greyish layer” inside Nair. 

Black fungus, scientifically known as mucormycosis, has killed more than 200 Indians in the last four weeks, adding to existing fears over a punishing surge in coronavirus cases.

“The fungal spores usually get inside through the respiratory tract because fungus usually grows in hot, moist areas. From the nose, it can grow enough that it can melt bones,” Dr. Tanaya Narendra, a medical educator who has been busting myths around COVID-19 on social media, told VICE World News. “It can even dissolve the bone that separates the brain and your nose.”
