VADODARA: Too much of anything is bad, they say, including those things generally perceived to be beneficial for health. Like multivitamin tablets and zinc supplements that promise to boost your immunity, but an overdose may lead you to the dreaded black fungal infection or mucormycosis (MM). And the list also includes overabundance of steam inhalation too!
A case in hand is 60-year-old Rohit Baria, a retired school peon from Vadodara, who got infected with Covid in May and recovered after 10 days of hospitalization. But three weeks later, he developed MM symptoms in June. During treatment, Baria told the doctors that he kept popping in multi-vitamin tablets frequently to keep his immunity levels high, but the excess usage obviously backfired.
Surat: A group of eight doctors will go to Saurashtra on Sunday to help welfare organisations treat rising number of patients in Saurashtra and return.
