It is easy to spread athlete’s foot. Athlete’s foot is named for the fact that it is frequently transmitted by walking barefoot on locker room flooring. The fungus is persistent, infesting floors, baths, and carpets. It may be found at fitness clubs, YMCAs, hotel pool decks, and other public places. Any high-traffic public area is a breeding ground for fungus.
Fungus is an opportunist, which means that if given the chance, it will infect. Lucky for fungus, there is always a chance. The skin on your feet is prone to cracking and drying. This allows the fungus to easily infect the foot. Whether the fungus is in the shoe or on the gym locker room floor, this is true. You may greatly lower your chances of contracting an athlete’s foot infection by wearing protective footwear in such situations and keeping your feet healthy and moisturized.
