It is not uncommon for an individual to be affected by chronic sinus infection . Chronic sufferers will eventually try every treatment known especially antibiotics.Be aware that antibiotics are only effective against certain bacteria. If you have reccuring sinus issues that won’t go away then you most likely are experiencing fungal sinusitis .

Fungus is all around us in the air that we inhale. The extent of the fungus surrounding is impacted by the environment we are existing in . Certain structures are heavily infected with fungus from water damage and when you spend time in those areas that are full of fungus , there is a great likeliness that you will be exposed to fungus in the air .

When you inhale fungus, it has an opportunity to enter your sinuses and begin to thrive in there. The sinus cavities are an excellent place for fungus to grow because there is plenty of moisture and it is dark in there. There is a condition called allergic fungal sinusitis where the body is in truth sensitive to the presence of fungus and it creates an immune reaction .

The body reacts by creating an excess of mucus secretion inside the sinus cavities . This excess mucus can create sinus congestion and pain . It can also cause an inflammation of the membranes in the nose and sinus cavities .

The most common explanation for sinus infections has always been bacteria related . Things are changing since researchers at the Mayo Clinic did a study that showed that in almost all cases of chronic sinus infections there was fungus present .

More research is being done to sustain that the inflammation of the sinus membranes is in response to the fungus in the sinuses. If people are experiencing chronic or recurring sinus infections, they should consider the possibility that fungus may be performing a role.
