[quote:Anonymous Coward 15933:MV8xNTIzNzcxXzI1MTQ1NzIwX0U3MTRGNTVE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1420512] This is the only tornado destroyed area where it has been a problem as far as I know. [/quote] I am in Alabama where we had the deadly tornados in April. We have not had any reports of these fungal infections. This is highly suspicious! [/quote]

The Greene County (Mo.) Health Department has issued a memo to health care workers who are treating injured victims of May's deadly Joplin tornado, warning them that a powerful fungus has infected patients' wounds.
The Springfield News-Leader reports as many as nine cases have been reported in tornado victims across the area in various hospitals. Once the aggressive fungus -- called zygomycosis -- enters the body, it causes the death of infected cells. Three or four patients, who otherwise would have survived their wounds, have died from it.
