Not to worry: it depends what the Toe infection is caused by. If it is bacterial and you have swelling and redness adjacent to the nail, you should be seen for oral antibiotics. If it is a fungal infection of the toenail or the skin around the toes, it would be difficult to infect others via objects and household items. Put a few drops of tea tree oil in your body gel and your feet will get treatment every day
