What is Nail Fungus?

Nail fungus is actually know as onychomycosis. It is made up of tiny organisms, called dermatophytes, that infect toenails and fingernails. A fungus is not like most other plants and does not need oxygen to survive. It does not manufacture chlorophyll. Fungus lives under your nails. Fingernails and toenails make great barriers to keep infections out, therefore, when one does get under them, such as fungus, it is very difficult to get rid of. Toe nails are six times more likely to have fungus than fingernails. The main reason for this is the wearing of socks and shoes. Socks and shoes keep our feet warm, moist, and in a dark environment. The perfect breeding ground for fungus. It is estimated that over 30 million Americans have toe or fingernail fungus. The real numbers are probably much higher.

Is Nail Fungus Contagious?

Nail fungus is contagious. It can spread from toenail to toenail or fingernail to fingernail. It also can be spread from one person to another. This happens most often by an infected person walking barefoot in gym showers, locker rooms or even using public pools. Don’t get mad at the infected person, most don’t know they are contagious. Fingernail contagion can be spread by sharing an emery board with an infected person. It is a wise idea not to share.

Is Nail Fungus Dangerous?

Nail fungus in its early form poses no danger, but left untreated it will eventually cause severe pain. In people with diabetes or compromised immune systems, nail fungus can cause severe problems and should be treated immediately. Everyone should try to catch this infection early to stave off any later problems, such as nail loss.
