Vick's VapoRub. No, I am not joking. It really works. Apply it to the affected toes. Menthol and eucalyptol in the vaporub comes from the eucalyptus plant from south america. The plant has natural anti-fungals in it because it must ward off fungi in the warm moist soil of it's environment. Vick's Vaporub is a cheap, OTC solution to your problem.

Sounds crazy, but put Vick's Vapor Rub on your toe nails at night, then put your socks on. You'll probably notice some improvement soon, and within 2 months probably completely cleared up.

The weirdest thing I've ever heard of, and tried, and had it work... is Vick's Vaporub. No idea why, but it seems to really do something.
If, however, you don't want weirdo, kooky home cures, go to Walmart. They have stuff there in their footcare aisle for fungus.
Good luck!

Use a jackhammer, intermittently over the course of a couple of weeks (on each infected toe).

I recommend a visit to a podiatrist and a Rx drug, Lamisil.

OH...man! At first glance of this question I thought it said "eating" instead of "treating". Whoa, freaky.
