Fungi can be harmful to humans in several ways: they can cause infections, such as athlete's foot and candidiasis, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems. Some fungi produce mycotoxins, which can lead to food poisoning and long-term health issues when ingested. Additionally, certain fungi are responsible for Allergies and respiratory problems, especially in individuals exposed to mold in damp environments.
