From looking carefully it seems the packet is seperate and placed in the diaper when you throw it away, if that's what you mean
The thought of a diaper pre-populated with fungus definitely seemed odd to me 😅
Don't worry, they don't make for horrific fungal "walkers". They can't even— ohno. 😵
Yeah, including any sort of fungus any where near a diaper package seems like a bad idea. Kids are susceptible to fungal infections in their diapers already.
Fungi are an incredibly diverse group. The ones interested in eating a poopy diaper, have very little ability to start a skin infection in a matter of hours, particularly from the other side of a membrane.
