A member asked:
Can head fungus and toenail fungus be airborne? meaning, can i get it through the air? can these fungi even be in the air or airborne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shitake air.: It is generally thought that developing a nail fungus is not accomplished by catching it through the air. Having said that, fungal spores are everywhere and to be everywhere, they had to become airborne. Air qualities have verified their presence.
