How do you get rid/prevent athletes feet?

Humidity/meds: Toe/ feet fungus is tough to get rid of. Antifungals ointments need used frequently for several weeks. Keeping humidity down helps. Dry feet + dry shoes = no fungus.

Epsom salt soak: Soak feet with epsom salt and orally take garlic pills - will take 6 weeks to clear.
