It found that 26% of the sample had Tinea pedis, better known as athlete's foot, while 30% had Onchomycosis, an infection that causes toenails to become thickened, discoloured and distorted.
The bugs in question run the gamut from fungi, which cause ailments such as athlete's foot, to viruses that cause herpes or a potentially deadly infection known as MRSA, or methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus.
