Can you infect me if you touch your nails

summary

On the Seventh National Day holiday, I went to my friend's house to play. Because I didn't bring slippers, I wore her mother's slippers. I found her mother's nails by accident. In the past, I heard that nails were contagious. I was embarrassed to say that I wore them for several days. As soon as I got home, I went to the hospital and asked the doctor if it would be contagious if I touched the nail. The doctor told me in great detail. Now let me tell you about the infection of nails.

Can you infect me if you touch your nails

First: nails are contagious. Because the friends of patients with onychomycosis don't know the infection of onychomycosis, and they don't know the way of infection of onychomycosis, many patients can cause their own infection by scratching or slight trauma, such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris, etc., and then they can directly contact the parts suffering from onychomycosis or tinea pedis with their hands. This also increases the chance of infection through close contact with family or friends.

Second: as a result of fungal cross infection, manicure easily leads to a high family infection rate. According to statistics, about 34% of the family members of Manicure patients in China have foot fungal infection. A few days ago, there was a case of "fungal family". Both parents had been infected with onychomycosis for many years, but they did not seek medical treatment. In the case of mutual infection between family members, even their children were finally attacked by fungi. It has the effect of clearing away heat and toxin, dispelling wind and removing dampness. It only needs to be applied on the body surface to achieve the effect of lesion, killing pathogenic fungi and repairing damaged nail.

Third: onychomycosis is a chronic fungal infection, which needs active treatment. People often ignore the severity of onychomycosis. When they treat fungal infection in other parts of the body in the outpatient department, they will find that their hands and feet suffer from onychomycosis. Many of the patients' infections come from their families. Because manicure is not a personal disease, in the case of fungal cross infection, it will also harm the family around. If there are manicure patients around, we must pay attention to the patient's personal hygiene and actively seek medical treatment, so as not to expand the infection.
