Researchers made a research and they came out with a discovery saying in a report that our feet are like home for about two hundred fungi species and they are on our feet more than any other part of our body.Not disposing of the fact that they occur other parts of our body like the back of our ear but researchers have discovered their are more of them between our toes, well not all the fungi are harmful to human but like half of them causes skin infection and thereby posing threat to our health but this discovery also help us to know the proper medication that's applicable to the treatment of fungi infections.
People who take antibiotics and do have an immune system that's weak are likely to develop fungi infections, though there are treatments that work on them but research also showed they could be resistant to antibiotics because they tend to multiply quickly just like bacteria.
Fungi infections that occur of this sort are: Athletes foot, an infection that's common and it affects the space between the toes, signs like burning itching, cracking and scaly skin between the toes are signs of the fungi infection known as athletes foot.
Another fungi infection is what we call the ring worm not that this are caused by worm though but its an infection that forms a ring around a portion of the skin that's normal, and lastly yeast infection that lives in almost everywhere on our body causing itching and rashes. This study was led by the researchers in Maryland of the national human genome research institute in bethesda.

Discovery about the large numbers of fungi on our feet and its health consequences.
