Athlete's Foot Defined

Athlete's foot is a fungus. This parasitic fungal infection is so common, that if you have not been afflicted, there is a 70% chance that you will surrender to the infection at some time in your life.

Living on dead tissue, fungal microorganisms were said to have been discovered in the 19th century. Prior to that, the affliction was thought to be caused by insect bites.

Living in the superficial layers of skin, this fungus starts to grow when the right conditions are met. Dark, warm and moist environments, like your running shoes, allow the fungus to flourish.

Athlete's Foot is an exasperating condition in itself, but it is the secondary infections from this communicable disease that can be the most damaging.

What Causes Athlete's Foot?

As a communicable disease, Athlete's Foot is easily transmitted from one foot to another in "common" areas. Public shower stalls, locker rooms, saunas, swimming pools and hot tubs are places where this fungus thrives.

Once you have attracted the disease, it will often flare up again, if the environment is congenial and when your immune system is weakened.

Will Far Infrared Socks Help?

Yes! Far Infrared energy rays emitted from Prolotex™ FIR Socks help retard bacteria - and prevent secondary infections. Infrared waves promote health and rejuvenation of cells - a necessary activity for combating this skin disease.
