Your Feet

Padding along barefoot in the locker room or yoga studio makes you susceptible to athlete’s foot. The infection develops when a fungus known as trichophyton rubrum sneaks into the moist crevices between the toes and causes feet to crack or develop itchy red scales.

Protect yourself: Always wear shoes in the gym and locker room, and keep toes clean and dry.
