A member asked:
My partner is worried about me sharing a bed with him while i have athletes foot. will me wearing socks be enough to prevent him from catching it from me while i am in his bed?

If you wash and keep feet dry and use antifungal powder and clean and clip toenails you will be fine . Don't wear socks, the fungus thrives in moist environments. Don't share any footwear and keep sheets clean and dry.
