Asking us about fungal infections of people and it wants to know sort of where on the body are fungal infections of humans most common fortunately for us most fungal infections on people are on the skins the answer is b their skin infections um and if you've ever had athlete's foot which as the name implies is a fungus that attacks the skin of your foot or if you've ever had ringworm, which despite its name is not caused by little worms, it's caused by a fungus.

Those are two very common skin infections.

Athlete's foot, of course, occurs when you typically have damp feet.

So the dampness of your skin makes it easier for the fungi to attack.

And so that's one reason you want to try to to keep your toes dry after you take a shower.

Ringworm is a similar fungus, almost identical fungus, and it commonly attacks children, usually on their torsos.

But again, it's usually hastened or allowed to infect because of damp skin...
