Cure that Itching
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
A co-worker of mine while I was working for the Youth Conservation Corps, Karl, had Athlete's Foot. Well, he decided that he didn't want to waste his time with powder or spray, and he knew bleach killed bacteria. So, what does he do? He decides to soak his feet in bleach to get rid of his Athlete's Foot. Yes, in bleach, that substance with the warning labels on it about minimizing contact with skin. Needless to say, the skin of his feet was not a pretty sight for quite a while afterwards -- burned and peeling. Still, he decides to go for the unconventional approach, and doesn't go to a doctor to make sure it doesn't get infected -- he goes to the witch doctor down the street, whom he pays with a six-pack of beer. Though, amazingly, it wasn't infected, I expect to see Karl nominated for a Darwin Award pretty soon. His Athlete's Foot was gone, though!Submitted on 02/28/02
