Just wondering if anyone had fungus infected toe nails before long distance hiking or thru-hiking and how that affected them.

I got toe nail fungus 4 years ago after I had a doctor treat an in-grown toe nail (ironically, he said I was treating it perfectly before I went to see him, then he screwed it all up!) and since then it's been infected. I recently cut the entire nail off myself, and am soaking it in epsom salt every other day to kill the exposed fungus. My biggest worry is that it will transfer to adjacent toes during a thru-hike.

Sorry this is so disgusting, but hey, we're all humans here (at least I hope so).
