I always make sure that I wear flip flops when I'm in the pool so I don't get athletes foot or toe nail fungus. I was in a pharmacy today and was talking to the pharmacist about the topic because the pharmacy is across the street of the pool of the gym I go to. She mentioned that she goes to that gym too but the water in that pool isn't too clean and she wouldn't swim there because she's afraid to catch something like fungus. I mentioned that I thought that chlorine kills everything but she denied that:confused:
Is it really possible to get fungus while you're swimming?

Seriously doubt it, but you can get athletes foot walking around on deck, the locker room & or in the shower. Walking around in flip flops might help, what helps most is to dry your feet & spray your feet & shoes with an anti fungal spray. You can also get toe nail fungus. The fungus grows under your toenails. The fungus can cause your toe nails to warp & may discolor them. The only effective way to treat toenail fungus is with pills.
