Question: Besides the occassional ringworm?
Answers: Besides the occassional ringworm?
just about anything. Lockers are not cleaned daily or even weekly at many places. Also the machines and free weights are breeding grounds for germs and diseases as they are deondent on the user to clean them after every use and from what i have seen at my local gym this just does not happen! Its up to you to disinfect the machins and whatever else you use while you are at the gym. Also watterbottles are a huge breeding ground for germs. By a bottle water every day on your way to the gym or get a nalgene bottle at a sports store and wash it every night when you get home!
atheletes foot, lol
You might want to be concerned more about getting a staph infection, caused by staph bacteria. Sometimes that's harder to get rid of, more painful, and more harmful. (It can kill you.)
Most gyms should adopt the motto, "Staph infections - they're not just for hospitals anymore!"
