In fact, thiosulfinates of onions have strong antimicrobial activity (which can kill even Vibrio cholerae). But I think this is not a point of the pic lol.
http://yukkuri.shii.org/post/show/53026/ http://yukkuri.shii.org/post/show/53027/ Both of the above are previous pictures are by the same artists and most likely same series. Judging by his few other pictures, this is most likely going to be abuse. Also, these yukkuris have no badges and the koreimu referred to herself as "cute". Suffering is inevitable....
Treating it early before it roots so deeply that it's basically is latching on core vital paste, you basically have to surgically cut it out and remplace with filling and dough to patch the missing part, and again, only if the mold isn't deeply rooted, if its, then it's game over.
I honestly don't think that any anti-microbal stuff would help when the mold is already stablished like in this cases. For prevention? sure, it probably would be a good way to either prevent your pet/yu-park yukkuri from getting it.

I think a better argument is the whole "RIGHT NOW IS OKAY!" not only out of it potentially sounding demmanding, but you know, good yu's not using that line for anything, only scum to shitheads. And in a meta perspective, the dick shaped tears had to give us a hint of this going for hilarity, if abyuse hilarity.

Like treating cancer. Remove the mold as early as possible with surgery. It will be painful, but yukkuri can be patched with flour and they can replenish their paste quickly if given tasty food.
If you waited until the later stage, there's risk that the cancer has spread somewhere else and there will be cells left inside after the main cancer tissue is removed. They pump you with toxic and hope the rogue cells all die before you.
Chemotheraphy is devastating to human. I don't trust yukkuri will do any better with anti-fungal pumped into their body.
randomhaxofkindness said: Raw honey is a sweet-sweet. Honey has been used for centuries as a topical treatment on wounds and taken orally. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Sort of like a real-life equivalent of what orange juice does to yukkuri. Makes sense.
One thing is being good for "flesh wounds" another is it being good for yukkuri wounds (beyond sweets = healing), even more for something that is the paralel of cancer in yukkuris like mold.
It probably would work as well as orange juice, syrup, etc. as in only good for healing wounds out of "sweet stuff = help healing" but I don't think it would work with Mold, if Orange Juisce and similar stuff doesn't help, then honey and raw honey will not fare any better.
Also you have to consider if the healing properties of raw honey aren't because of a chemical reaction happening inside the body of the patient, something that you can't expect in a yukkuri.
Raw honey produces hydrogen peroxide which kills bacteria and fungal spores. Honey is also a viscous coating and acts a sealant to prevent the reintroduction of microbes to the wound site. Yukkuri are "lol, magic" so there is no clear rules on what would happen when the honey is ingested, but I don't think it is an unreasonable to introduce raw honey as a cure for mold.
Everything ingested becomes paste, the only thing that raw honey would provide is extra sugar, so at best it would be like syrup or orange juice, a good healing pot for normal wounds and ailments, hydrogen peroxide wouldn't kick in because it would be converted before any proper chemical reaction would happen.
Now if you considered "coating" the yu on it, it would be a different story, but since it's mold, if the mold is too ingrained inside the yu, chances are the raw honey won't be able to help much because of too much mold being beyond it's reach. If anything, Raw Honey could be seen as form of early treatment when mold is small and just in the skin, before the "we have to cut out that shit" stage that happens when the mold had spread further in the skin but hadn't rooted itself too far in the filling and waaaaaay before the "nope,you're fucked, that shit is nearly hugging your paste core!" because the mold rooted itself deeply in the skin.
Just being with this Mister Vegetable, the mold will die
