Jamie Samnang (41), who lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, felt tingling and itching in his arm hours after returning home from exercising at the gym in September last year, according to the British media Daily Mail.
I thought she had been bitten by a mosquito, but she scratched so hard that she bled.
Gradually, the itchy area developed blisters and the rash spread to the legs and ankles.
Eventually, she visited the hospital and was diagnosed by the medical staff with 'Taxillosis', a highly contagious fungal infection.
Medical staff who prescribed antifungal drugs told them to avoid visiting workplaces, gyms, and even sleeping in the same bed as their husbands.
At the same time, the medical staff explained that the hot and sweaty gym is the perfect environment for fungi to reproduce.
The triclamps had to `sterilize everything. I had to use bleach, get a new bedsheet, and I couldn't sleep next to my husband for fear of getting infected"I couldn't go to work, I couldn't go to the gym until I was completely cured."
"I used the exercise equipment without wiping it, and I think I got infected from it," she said. "'I've been working out mainly in short sleeves or sports bras, but now I only wear long sleeves.'"
Meanwhile, vitiligo is a fungal infectious disease with white or red spots on the skin.
It refers to all infections on the skin caused by dermatophytes classified as fungi (fungi). Skin filamentous fungi have enzymes that dissolve dead skin cells, the thickest outer layer of the skin, and are fungi that invade the stratum corneum, hair, nails, and toenails of the epidermis and live as nutrients.
White glands are generally classified into head white glands (tooth part white glands), body white glands (body white glands, painted boorums), face white glands, groin white glands (frontal glands), foot athlete's foot white glands, hand athlete's foot white glands, nail athlete's foot white glands, or nail mycosis depending on the site of the lesion, regardless of the causative bacteria.
The prevention method of white sun should be thoroughly personal hygiene and care should be taken when using towels for public use.
