Pathogenic fungi can cause infections in humans when they come into contact with our bodies, often through inhalation or direct contact with the skin. Factors like a weakened immune system, poor hygiene, or certain medical conditions can increase the risk of fungal infections. Some fungi have evolved mechanisms to evade the immune system and thrive in the human body, leading to diseases like athlete's foot, ringworm, or systemic fungal infections.
