"No one has toenail fungus from the start."

According to Ham, athlete's foot is a fungus that lives on dead skin cells and eats away at them. Infection with this fungus can lead to athlete's foot, and women, in particular, are particularly susceptible to it due to their frequent use of stockings.

He said, "There are three types of athlete's foot: interdigital, which occurs between the toes; vesicular, which causes blisters; and callous, which occurs on the heels." He continued, "If the calluses on your heels thicken, you should consider it athlete's foot. Because there's no itching, you might not realize it's athlete's foot, but nine out of ten times it is." He surprised viewers by saying, "It's not a bad thing, but it's actually a bad thing."
