A member asked:
How much of health hazard to daily shower at a gym that is rarely cleaned? even if you were wearing sandals? in terms of diseases you can pick up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare hazards: We worry about fungal infections of the foot when showering barefoot at public showers and walking barefoot through a locker room. Staph. Infections would be a concern if sharing towels, razors, other equipment. Your risk should be very low if wearing shower shoes and only using your own equipment/toiletries.
