What Causes Toenail Fungus?

There are a lot of different things that can cause you to get toenail fungus. It is transferred from person to person though.

One of the most common ways of getting toenail fungus is by going barefoot in a public place where other people who had toenail fungus would be barefoot. Public showers, bathrooms at the gym, or a campground shower room are some very common places.

So, one of the best ways to prevent toenail fungus is to where flip flops or sandals any time you are in a public place, at risk for getting toenail fungus.

Also, fungus loves to grow in dark, damp places. Keeping your feet aired out and dry is a great way to prevent toenail fungus!
