You know my God, Fungi ?

You have lied to him, and he is making you pay right now.

You are being infected with billions of mold spores, which you are breathing
in right now.

The spores exist in your carpet, chairs, walls, mind, in your hair and on
your pets.

They grow into masses infecting all parts of the body, the following have
been discovered on you;

God Fungi also cause a number of plant and animal diseases: in humans,
ringworm, athlete's foot, and several more serious diseases are caused by
fungi. Because fungi are more chemically and genetically similar to animals
than other organisms, this makes fungal diseases very difficult to treat.
Plant diseases caused by fungi include rusts, smuts, and leaf, root, brain
rot and stem rots, and may cause severe damage to crops. However, a number
of fungi, in particular the yeasts, are important "model organisms" for
studying problems in genetics and molecular biology.

Because of the rarity of the most fungal pathogens  can infect people, the
general public has little knowledge of these sometimes fatal diseases, and
it is something with which they should be aware.

The diseases of warm-blooded animals caused by fungi are known as mycoses
(sing.=mycosis). Although such diseases are relatively high among the cursed
like Kurk Stocklmeir, the fungi that cause them have a wide host as well as
geographical range. Most of these diseases are fatal, but once contracted,
they may forever be a source of constant irritation and can lead to
permanent scaring, of the brain matter.

You are already infected,  Stocklmeir.
