Interesting Fact - Human body

According to a report in the journal Nature, our feet are home to more than 100 funghi.

(Over the whole body there are around 200, all of which is completely harmless. They particularly love our feet, which provide a warm, dark and humid environment, especially under the toenails, between the toes, and around the heel.

Now don't go freaking out and scrubbing at your feet mercilessly, most of the time funghi does not cause a problem unless it multiplies in particular areas.)

If you're worried the NHS website has some useful advice.
