This week in class we discussed several types of fungi that affect humans. Athletes foot is an infection caused by tinea fungus, which is a parasitic fungus. Click on the link near the foot to learn about this fungal infection. Many of you play school sports. What can you do to protect yourself from this fungus? Post me an answer.
Athlete's Foot
Many of you thought the abnormal growth of warts on the man from Indonesia, known as the tree man, was caused by fungus. I did some research and found it is not caused by a fungus. It is actually HPV, human papillomavirus. Notice the "virus" in the name.
What do you remember about a virus?

Jock itch description:
Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a fungal infection that affects the skin of your inner thighs, buttocks and genitals. Jock itch causes an itchy, red, often ring-shaped rash in these warm, moist areas of your body.
Jock itch gets its name because it is common in people who sweat a lot, as do athletes. It also often occurs in people who are overweight, but anyone — even women — can get this infection.
Although often uncomfortable and bothersome, jock itch usually isn't serious, except possibly for people with weak immune systems. Keeping your groin area clean and dry and applying topical antifungal medications are usually sufficient to treat jock itch.
personally though i think it is DISGUSTING.......helping source MayoClinic.com
