FUNGAL FOOT INFECTIONS

MOST FOOT SPECIALISTS, INCLUDING FOOT DOCTORS, PODIATRISTS AND CHIROPODISTS AGREE THAT FUNGAL INFECTIONS ARE WIDESPREAD.  NAIL FUNGUS CAN AFFECT ANYONE AT ANY TIME.  A TWO YEAR STUDY BY NEW YORK PODIATRIST, DOCTOR ALEXANDER FISH CONCLUDED THAT EVERY PERSON IS SUSCEPTICLE TO ACQUIRING SKIN AND NAIL FUNGUS.  THE PRESENCE OF FUNGUS THROUGHOUT OUR DAILY ENVIROMENT IS MORE PREVALENT THAN ONCE THOUGHT.

ACCORDING TO THE STUDY, THERE ARE VARIOUS COMFORTABLE HOMES FOR FUNGUS SPORES.  INSIDE SHOES ARE THE MOST OBVIOUS ONE.  SPORES THRIVE AND MAY ATTACH THEMSELVES AS PARASITES TO A HUMAN HOST AT ANY GIVEN TIME.  PUBLIC AREAS THAT ARE DAMP, DARK AND WARM SUCH AS SAUNAS, GYMS AND NAIL SALONS ARE COMMON BREEDING GROUNDS FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF FUNGAL INFECTIONS.
