| Fungi cause diseases. These Fungi infect plants, animals, and even other fungi. Athletes foot and ringworm are fungal diseases in humans. Drugs made from fungi cure diseases and stop the rejection of transplanted hearts and other organs. Some fungi cause diseases in humans as well. Athlete’s foot causes an itchy irritation in the damp places between the toes. Ringworm, another fungal disease, causes an itchy, circular rash on the skin. Because the fungi that cause these diseases produce spores at the site of infection, the diseases can spread easily from person to person. Both diseases can be treated with anti fungal medications. | |
