Fungi
Mold and mildew which thrive in damp areas of your house also belong to the same group of Germs,. They may not be as dangerous as bacteria and viruses but they can still cause irritation and disease.
Fungi are multi-cell plant-like organisms. Unlike other plants, fungi cannot make their own food from soil, water, and air. Instead, fungi get their nutrition from plants, people, and animals. They thrive in damp, warm places. Most fungi are not dangerous. Examples of something caused by fungi are ringworm and athlete's foot, an itchy rash that gets between your toes.
Fungi usually cause problems when they are breathed in or come into contact with the skin and can result in fungal infections. Mold spores inhaled in large numbers can trigger asthma attacks, allergic reactions and increases your susceptibility to colds and flu. They also can cause sinus infections. The main problem with fungi is that they are very difficult to kill without harming the host cells as well. Any drugs used on fungal infections only manage to prevent further growth but do not manage to kill off the existing colony.
Protozoa
These are parasites such as amoebas which often spread through moisture and water and cause a range of diseases, from gastro-intestinal infections which lead to diarrhea, nausea and vomiting and stomach aches to more serious illnesses such as dysentery and malaria. Protozoa are one-cell organisms that love moisture and often spread diseases through water. Protozoa can cause Giardia, Malaria and Toxoplasmosis.
Protozoa often spend part of their life cycle outside of humans or other hosts. They live in food, soil, water or insects. Some protozoa invade your body through the food you eat or the water you drink. Others, such as malaria, are spread by mosquitoes.
