Abstract :
The aim of the study is, the importance of fungi on human health, the effect of fungi on people, what types of fungi infect humans. A questionnaire was created and designed via Google Drive and distributed on the social media network (WhatsApp) to health practitioners and practices in Mecca 800 questionnaires were distributed and responses were obtained to 750 questionnaires from the targeted targets (Residents of Makkah aged 25-60 years).
Keywords: effect, fungi, human health
