For more than a year, I struggled with toenail fungus and felt like I’d never get rid of it. I had no idea how I even got this fungus. At first, I thought it was due to wearing sneakers or heavy work boots all day. But I was so wrong.

It started with cloudy yellow toenails, which I didn’t think much of at first. I ignored it, hoping it would just go away, but things only got worse!

My feet began to itch and burn during the day. The worst part was the awful smell of my feet. I was so embarrassed to take off my shoes! The appearance of my feet and toenails was awful. I tried to hide it from my wife, but it didn’t work—the odor from my smelly feet was unmistakable, like a dirty gym bag! My wife started putting my shoes out in the garage to mask the smell. She then began placing baking soda in my shoes to dry them out and eliminate the odor. She insisted that I start washing my feet daily with Epsom salts and hydrogen peroxide to tackle the issue. However, just when things seemed to improve, my feet appeared to get worse again. It felt like the infection would never go away. The pain and smell would return, leaving my nails and feet dry and unpleasant once more!
