Gyms are a breeding ground for fungal infections like athlete’s foot and toenail fungus. Shared showers, sweaty shoes, and communal spaces increase your risk.

Tips to Prevent Fungal Infections:

• Wear shower shoes: Always use flip-flops or sandals in communal showers.
• Keep your feet dry: Change out of sweaty socks and shoes promptly.
• Disinfect your shoes: Use antifungal sprays or powders regularly.
• Avoid going barefoot: Especially in locker rooms or gym floors.
