What reason is beriberi caused?

Humid environment: the sole of the foot is a sweaty environment. There are more than 600 sweat glands per square centimeter on the sole of the foot, 2-4 times more than other parts of the body. There are more than 250000 sweat glands in total, which can secrete nearly 500ml of sweat a day. Besides moisture and salt, sweat also contains lactic acid and urea. When the water content is high, it is very conducive to the proliferation of bacteria and mold.

Sultry and airtight space: when the shoes are worn very tightly and the ventilation is poor, in addition to the increase of moisture, the pH value of the skin surface will change, from the original ph4.4 to pH7, and it will release carbon dioxide gas. This environment is most suitable for the growth of some bacteria on the sole of the foot.

Mold reproduction: hot and humid environment will make mold growth, the formation of tinea pedis, commonly known as xianggangjiao. The symptoms of xianggangjiao are very diverse. Not all xianggangjiao have bad smell. The type of xianggangjiao that is easy to produce foot odor is the type of xianggangjiao with wet and rotten skin between toe tendons. Beriberi is the most serious.
