Warming Temperatures Fuel Spread of Deadly Fungi

Imagine tiny invisible seeds of mold floating in the air.

These seeds, called spores, can make people sick.

Scientists are worried because the Earth is getting warmer, which helps these molds grow and spread more easily.

The most concerning mold is called Aspergillus.

When people with weak defenses, like those with illnesses or who have had organ transplants, breathe in these spores, they can get very sick.

Doctors are having a tough time fighting these infections because they are hard to find early, and the medicines don't always work.

So, scientists are working hard to understand how these molds spread and how to stop them.
