If you have athlete's foot, and you wash your socks with your underwear, will you have athlete's balls?

I have no idea but I can't wait to learn the answer!

No.

Blonde balls?

From personal experience I do not recommend using Peroxide Bleach to lighten the shade of hair in the vicinity of one's genitals. Chemical burns, like moose bites, can be very nasty.

(star) THE MORE YOU KNOW.

I can tell you that the medicine for athlete's foot and the medicine for jock itch is identical. (True.) Does this help?

It's the same fungus, I believe. Or if not, it's still fungus, and any fungicide should work.

Athlete's foot (Tinea Pedis) is caused by a fungus. Fungi need a warm, moist environment to survive. The washer won't kill them. The dryer will.

Bleach should kill anything, dammit! And if it doesn't there's always napalm!

Ahh, that explains my blue feet, then.

do they call a snitch a "bloody stool pigeon" in Britain?

do B1 vitamins help you meditate?

Uncertain. Ask again later.

I can say that in my son's experience, B-complex and Omega-complex helps amazingly with uncontrolled stimming. So it may be beneficial in meditation for an NT.

The spores of any fungus, inc Tinea Pedis (ath foot) are really really tough and hard to get rid of, which is why so many people get re-infected after a (seemingly) successful treatment.

A wash will probably not kill the spores, but the likelihood of them remaining in your underwear is highly unlikely, and the chance of them then infecting you even more highly unlikely, unless you're immuno-compromised or wear plastic trousers (or nylon tights - anything that doesn't let air in). The chance of cross infection increases the hotter and moister your crotch is! But even if it does happen, it won't be your balls so don't worry! (It'll be the folds on either side where skin touches skin)

Oh Dear Lord, why oh why did I not only start reading this thread but finish reading it too. Why?

Esmer wants to know!

Stonemaybe's reply was just too much information. I cannot get the horrible mental image of fungus ridden ballsacks out of my head now. Ugh.

So you're saying to toss the clothing in an air-tight enclosure containing a hotplate which contains formaldihyde crystals, then turn the hot plate on?

I don't see why not, though I don't recall ever hearing anyone say it. Fortunately.
