Claims in viral video about 'alum, turmeric' treatment of black fungus fake: Govt

The government said a viral video claiming that black fungus can be cured with a powder made with mixture of alum, turmeric and rock salt is fake. There is no scientific evidence that black fungus can be treated with this method, the government added. "Please don't rely just on home remedies for treatment of any such health problem," it advised.
