BACK TO SCHOOL! HOW TO AVOID FUNGUS AND WARTS!

In the next week or two schools begin for cottage and university students. Students should ensure that they do everything they can to prevent contacting a fungal infection or wart virus.
Both warts and fungus are easily transmitted in warm moist environments such as shared bathrooms and commercial showers at health clubs.
The Canadian Federation of Podiatric Medicine offers the following tips to avoid contact.
      1. Wear flip flops/and or water shoes when using commercial showers
      2. Keep your feet dry
      3. Change your socks and shoes regularly
      4. Inspect your feet regularly or seek help of your chiropodist/podiatrist
      5. Share this information with your roommates
