Day 1 - Research and Development Must infect self with athlete's foot... OK. So, apparently, according to feetforlife.org (ha!), the ways to *prevent* AF are these: * Wash your feet at least once a day. * Choose socks made from natural fibers, preferably cotton, which allow the air to circulate. * Change socks or stockings every day. Clearly, what I must do then is wear airtight plastic bags on my feet all day every day until I have achieved hygiene disaster. Here's the stuff I got from CVS: * Plastic bags--for wrapping up the feet, creating precious greenhouse effect. * Saran wrap--I dunno, just in case I need extra protection * Rubber bands--to hold the bags on my feet * Vaseline--this was Chris' idea. He says I should use it to make a perfect airtight seal around my ankle where the bags meet my skin. The counter lady didn't seem at all impressed that I was buying rubber bands and Vaseline at the same time. She must not have a very powerful imagination. I said hold on and went back and got some latex gloves, too, just to up the perv factor. I think they'll be helpful later. She was careful not to touch me when I handed over the ten bucks. A nice pleasant fragrance with every step. Made note for later... Tomorrow I take a trip to the men's locker room at the Cambridge YMCA, to stock the pond, so to speak. Here is a picture of my unsuspecting feet. Sleep well tonight my pretties. Symptoms of athlete's foot: * Itching between the toes, especially the fourth and fifth toes * Red, raw looking skin, which is often itchy * Skin that flakes, peels or cracks * Sore, pus-filled, weeping rash WEEPING RASH. NEXT DAY! |
