I don't think you can get it by touch. I think you need an open wound or
something to get it in the bloodstream. I have no idea how they get rid
of it once it's inside the body. Induce a fever of 102?

Of course there was exaggeration...

The Candida Auris fungus has been around for as long as we know.
Possibly millenia; possibly since before the dinosaurs departed the
earth. For as long as we've known, the fungus has not been able to
survive in temperatures above about ~~ 77-80 degrees (F). However,
if there is a sustained period of higher temperatures, they
conjecture that the few that survive get conditioned to tolerate a
slightly higher temperature. Rinse, and repeat to the point that
they are getting up into the mid to higher 90-degree temps.
At the same time, the standard temperature for people has been
gradually decreasing. According to the show, in developed countries,
the standard temperature for a healthy human has decreased from 98.6
to now the more common 97.5.
So the fungus is tolerating higher temps, and our thermostats are
operating at a lower temp. Put the two together, and there are many
cases now where the fungus is living inside people's bodies.
Can't kill a fungus with a vaccine. Guess we're going to have to
inject bleach. Who knew?!?

Without listening to it, where does it come from? Yes, I like
Radio Lab. I like This American Life and Snap Judgement more.
The Moth is good too. Lately I have been listening to In The
Dark, similar To Serial. It is a mixed blessing for insomnia,
half the time they are so interesting they keep me awake.

I'm a big fan of Radiolab, and I think Chuck is too. This episode
caught my attention, and may be a harbinger of doom for us all.
The Candida Auris fungus may be difficult to become infected
with, but the fatality rate is 20%-60%, and there is no vaccine.
