Do woman get Athlete's Foot????

OH YEAH!!!!

We woman sometimes think Athete's foot is a mans disease. Well, I am here to tell you that is not true. Athlete's foot is a fungal infection that develops in the moist areas between your toes. The fungal infection starts to grow when the right conditions are met. Dark warm and moist evironments, like your running shoes and garden shoes, allow the fugus to flourish.

As communicable disease, athlete's foot is easily transmitted from one foot to another in "common" places. Public locker rooms, shower stalls, saunas, swimming pools and hot tubs. My suggestion is for you to wear pool shoes.

Tell Athlete's Foot to go away........ Tips:
1. Wash your feet and keep them dry.
2. Wear a different pair of clean dry socks everyday.
3. Let your running shoes, garden shoes and pool shoes air dry daily.
4. Where socks in all your enclosed shoes. So, fungal bacteria have less of a chance to grow.
5. Inspect the webs of toes daily for itchy, red and peeling patches.
