[pct-l] Atheletes Foot Cure

[Tortoise]

An alternative that has worked for me.

If you have easy access to a sandy beach, walk barefoot for a mile oar 
two once in a while. The sand is a mild abrasive that abrades off the 
athlete's foot and the outer dead layers of skin. Probably helps if the 
beach is an ocean beach so that the salt water will also help.
