By state law, once she noticed or even suspected a fungus she was to stop the pedicure at that moment and explain to you that you need to see a Dr. She has contaminated her polish she used on you and in turn she used that polish on another, get the picture? She is not licensed to cure or treat your nails for this condition, no more than she is licensed to treat any other contageous condition. This fungus is a disease that is called tinea unguium , also known as ringworm of the nail,Tinea Pedis is athelete's foot and if the nail techs did not sanitize properly between pedicures properly, all the clients that frequent that establishment is taking a chance of getting cross contamination. The nail tech is suposed to be trained to recognize the disease but not cure or treat it. that is the Dr's job. There is no state in the union that will allow a nail tech to treat a nail condition like that. So in reality you may have gotten that anywhere not necessarily at the gym, but I would investigate their sanitation practices for both places, and good luck Jackie,

I go to water aerobics twice a week so I picked it up in the shower room. No one else seems to be complaining of symptoms; my immune system must be low. Mine has been painful so I'm either in the first stage or just going into the next one. I learned that it was a fungus when I had a pedicure. There was a lot of jabbering in Korean between the two women that were doing pedicures next to one another and I wondered what was wrong with my nails that was causing such a stir. It was finally explained to me when I lost quite a bit of nail in my big toe and some of the nail next to it. She did what she could for me. She told me that it was either the aging process or I, indeed had a fungus. I'm 66. I'll visit the doctor soon. My questions are, if you are answering any, are: How can I prevent spreading it to other family members? I share a shower with them and am concerned about passing it on to to others I never really took the time to properly dry my feet after aerobics. I just dried them as best I could along with my knock off crocs and left in a hurry trying to catch a ride with someone so I presume that was a problem. I live in a very dry climate here in Colorado so I don't have to worry about that. The only serious humidity I have encountered is the pool and shower/dressing room. Should I notify the center where I go to water aerobics that there is a fungus either in the pool or the shower/dressing room? How long does it take to get rid of this stuff once treatment has begun? My toes have been so sore since I had the pedicure; I was grateful that I learned that I had a fungus but I read that putting on toenail polish prohibits getting rid of the microbe. Is this true? I was going to make sure I had a monthly pedicure as part of the treatment but not if polishing the nails keeps it from going away. thank you so much for your informative web site and thank you for taking the time to answer my questions Jackie Siegel I have just recently discovered myself to have toenail fungus.
