If you have ever had athlete's foot or a yeast infection, you can blame a fungus. A fungus is actually a primitive vegetable. Mushrooms, mold and mildew are examples. Fungi live in air, in soil, on plants and in water. Some live in the human body. Only about half of all types of fungi are harmful.

Some fungi reproduce through tiny spores in the air. You can inhale the spores or they can land on you. As a result, fungal infections often start in the lungs or on the skin. You are more likely to get a fungal infection if you have a weakened immune system or take antibiotics.

Fungi can be difficult to kill. For skin and nail infections, you can apply medicine directly to the infected area. Oral antifungal medicines are also available for serious infections.

Open Question: betta with white gills? (Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:07:04 GMT)
Betta with white belly and white gills - fungal infection or ammonia poisoning? I got my betta fish about a month ago. He was pure blue. Now hes lost most of the blue color in his head and his body. His fins are still blue though. I wasn't too worried about the color fade from his head and body, as I believe that's not a big issue. However, his stomach has turned white in the past two weeks. And his gills are white too. I know all about betta fish and their health and food issues etc. I do not

Resolved Question: Oil of oregano could possibly help you pass drug tests? (Sun, 12 Feb 2012 05:07:54 GMT)
So this shit can be used for alot of stuff and it seems to me like it just cleans out everything it comes in contact with and effectively gets it out of your body in a way. I have recently been put in a situation where i will be drug tested a couple times in the next year and I'm already aware of the usual techniques to clean yourself out as fast as possible but i was thinking maybe ingesting a bunch of this stuff could be added to the routine. I'm mostly worried about urine drug tests but i

I recently began doing my own manicures at home, applying tips and a gel coating overtop. I have found many warning regarding fungal infections if you allow a space between your natural nail and the false tip, so make it a point to not let that happen; however this week I noticed that my natural nail tip has gone down into the area that is normally pink, or the nail bed area... This concerns me, and I have read information on pitted nails and possible health concerns... My question is, since I

She does not tilt her head and appeared normal other then the ear. Her ear was in so much pain that the vet had to sedate her in order to examine and clean. There was no sign of mites but we treated for that anyways. She received a shot of the ivermectin and was given antibiotics...a

Currently on terbinafine tablets- 250mg daily- for a fungal nail infection, and have been for a few months. What risk would I be at if I drunk alcohol in conjunction to this? I had to have a liver-function test prior to being given the prescription, so I wondered whether alcohol would impact health. I've read the information sheet contained within the packaging, and there's no mention of alcohol, but I just wanted to be safe. Please, if you don't know for certain, don't say anything- the

I have had minor itching in my jock area for nearly a year. It doesn't look like anything. There are no bumps, no scaling, no redness, no visible signs whatsoever. It just itches a little, and if I scratch too much, it does get raw (obviously). I saw a doctor after about 6 months, and he didn't know what it was, as he couldn't see anything. He prescribed topical antifungals, just in case it was jock itch. I used them for 2 weeks, and it didn't help at all. All it did was make it itch mo

Ok, so I'm a health care professional, I know the ways HIV is transmitted, I know that the risk from kissing is very low, unless both people have cuts in their mouths and blood is transmitted during the act of kissing.
