Habit of smelling socks lands Chinese man in hospital

The habit of smelling his own socks landed a Chinese man in the hospital - he developed a severe fungal infection. An office clerk from Chongqing was hospitalized with a severe cough that kept him up at night and could not be treated with any medication. Doctors diagnosed him with aspergillosis - a disease caused by certain types of mold. In conversation with the patient, it was revealed that he often smells his socks - an examination confirmed that it was precisely there that the fungus was multiplying.
