Our feet are probably one of the most used body parts, serving us various purposes daily. They take us wherever we want and are extremely important in certain sports such as soccer and athletics. They can however be susceptible to attacks by diseases micro-organisms. They affect their health and well-big. This in turn affects us also. Our toenails can easily be attacked by fungal infections, causing a condition called onychomycosis. <\/strong>There are several means of treatment available for fungal nail infections.

The low circulation of blood, coupled with these factors makes the toenails a perfect place for the growth and reproduction of fungi. This allows them to wreak havoc on the toenails.
