Can bleach, vinegar or pine sol really kill athlete's foot.?!


Question: Athlete's foot is a fungal infection. Bleach is capable of killing a fungal infection, however there are far better ways of going about it. Using an anti-fungal cream, like Lotrimin AF, is a good choice. If using this doesn't cure the infection, you may need to see a doctor to be placed on a prescription strength anti-fungal treatment.

As far as Pine-sol and vinegar, they not affective and I would not recommend using them. Again, bleach will probably work but be careful with it. Put a little on your finger and rub it in on the area affected. It will probably burn a little when you put it on, but if the burning continues for more than a minute or so, wash it off with cold water and go buy the Lotrimin AF.

I heard listerine works really well

No ,use baking soda.

They all will work well to disinfect the shower. Not so good on the feet.

could also kill the athlete attached to the foot...

I think the bleach would be a little harsh, go with an anti fungal ointment or spray and soak the feet in some water with tee tree oil added, or garlic oil is another anti fungal.

all are toxic chemicals that will kill your cells on contact,however not the athlete's foot.go see a naturophatic physician.
