amongst my searching for the perfect cure for atheletes foot fungus i found the usual suspects like chlorine, vinegar, hair dryers, absorbine jr. and such

but i found several un orthodox and somewhat miraculous (or so they claim) cures that include

  • human urine
  • the liquid from boiled gallberry root (allowed to cool slightly)
  • a paste made with hydrogen peroxide, mountain dew, and flour
  • the juice of garlic
  • sesame oil
  • tea tree and other essential oils
  • salt water bath followed by alcohol rub
  • Vicks vapour rub
  • hot water with detergent and alcohol
  • finally use a purified water system to wash with


the key thing with all of this is to dry thouroughly...and kill the fungus (i think) also to prevent it from coming back some of these don't seem to be able to work others seem to be over-kill...i'll leave this up to the experts to find out
