How do you get athletes foot from wearing your buddies shoes? Please don't say something living in his toe

Question

Somehow got out of his toes, into his shoes, and then burrowed into my toes...Cause the idea that something living inside his feet thats now living inside mine is repulsive...But seriously, what happens to give you athletes foot?

Answer 1

Oh yes, easier if you don't wear socks but even with socks you can get it.  It is a fungus, the spores are small and very contagious.  They like damp so pool changerooms (and sweaty sneakers) are ideal breeding grounds. I know it sounds creepy but no worse really than getting someone else's cold which I'll bet happens to you regularly, so no need to panic.  Any of the drugstore powders or creams will clear it up easily but don't ignore it - if it gets in your toenails it becomes a pain and can warp them.

Answer 2

repulsive, no it's cool you guys should start a club.

The world is a cesspool so enjoy it well you can.

Answer 3

yep, it's a fungal infection, a living parasite.  If you pee on your toes in the shower, it'll kill it  it's called that because if one person has it and you "hit the showers" that person can give it to everyone else.
