Bicycle Touring and I am getting athlete's foot: foot fungus

[Globalti]

I once had a guest who had terrible stinky feet - he wore trainers and I bet he had athlete's foot. He walked around barefoot in my flat and it was weeks fbefore the smell aired out of the carpets

The smell of tinea eaten flesh is very distinctive once your nose is trained.

Distinctly different from bacterial odours from insufficiently-sanitary personal hygiene that usually causes "boys lockerroom stink".

Ugh, I made the mistake of looking up Tinea on Wiki and am now thanking God that my athlete's foot is limited to just a bit of broken skin between the toes from time to time, easily treated with Canestan 2%. Sometimes I get an itchy belly-button too and Canestan clears that up PDQ.

I'm "professionally" interested in smell, so how come you are so accustomed to those odours? I agree that stinky feet smell very different to other body odours.

Probably tastes better than Double Diamond, even after you've had sweaty feet in it.

I strongly object

What to Double Diamond.

Never, it is wonderful stuff, far better than the original 'single diamond'
