A member asked:
How long can a foot fungus last outside of the human body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fungus has spores: Spores are like tiny seeds, inert until conditions become favorable for growing into fungus. Spores are extremely difficult, and for all practical consideration, impossible to fully eradicate. They can survive for hundreds of years.
