The fungus on the legs, called additionally ringworm, is a widespread type of infectious diseases. The pathological condition of the feet is not always associated with non -compliance with hygiene: a fungal infection can be easily captured in public places. You can touch the heels, nails, feet, fingers, skin. At the same time, a person is characterized by sensations of pain, discomfort, disgusting smell.
Powerful mushrooms can only be infected with one person, in turn, becoming a source of infection. The closest environment of the patient immediately enters the risk group.
The active propagation of fungi is facilitated by a neutral or weak alkaline environment. For example, with abundant sweating, a chance is a chance to "spread" mushrooms on the closed skin of the legs. The fungus is not afraid of low temperatures: it is quite stable. After freezing, the ability to remain the pathogen is not lost. The effect of high temperature (over 70 degrees) destroys the fungus in one hour. In boiling water, the fungus "comes to an end" after three minutes. This distinct feature can be used disinfecting personal hygiene, clothes, linen, which was contacted with fungal colonies. Personal domestic items are subject to boiling and passing with an iron. The shoes are cleaned with special solutions, for example, one percent of formalin. The fungus will not live and 20 minutes after processing.
Every tenth resident of the land had to face a fungus. Often men are conveyors and fungal infection distributors. They wear closed shoes for a long time. Women in this disease suffer less.
