Good hygiene.: Any infection can be spread, whether a fungus, virus, bacteria or parasite, not only to other parts of the body but to others. Practice good hygiene. Wash all equipment and hands after touching any infected area, dirty objects, or going to the bathroom, to avoid spreading germs. You know this!
