Answer 1

Answer 2

I'm going to answer this seriously. Your weight is contributing to the warm, moist environment in your shoes that encourages the growth of the bacteria. I know it's not fair, but what can you do. Some of us are just not skinny like Kate Moss. Here are some suggestions on how you can alleviate the problem:

From the American Podiatric Medical Association
Prevention

It is not easy to prevent athlete's foot because it is usually contracted in dressing rooms, showers, and swimming pool locker rooms where bare feet come in contact with the fungus. However, you can do much to prevent infection by practicing good foot hygiene. Daily washing of the feet with soap and water; drying carefully, especially between the toes; and changing shoes and hose regularly to decrease moisture, help prevent the fungus from infecting the feet. Also helpful is daily use of a quality foot powder.

Tips

*
Avoid walking barefoot; use shower shoes.
*
Reduce perspiration by using talcum powder.
*
Wear light and airy shoes.
*
Wear socks that keep your feet dry, and change them frequently if you perspire heavily.

Treatment

Fungicidal and fungistatic chemicals, used for athlete's foot treatment, frequently fail to contact the fungi in the horny layers of the skin. Topical or oral antifungal drugs are prescribed with growing frequency.

In mild cases of the infection it is important to keep the feet dry by dusting foot powder in shoes and hose. The feet should be bathed frequently and all areas around the toes dried thoroughly.

There's lots more information onthe page if you'd care to read it.

P.S. I also found this funny little sketch I thought you'd get a kick out of.

Christmas Special 1994 - Hyacinth looks into getting new kitchen counters but Richard's foot problems take top priority.
Quote #1 - [Hyacinth]"What did the doctor say?"
[Richard]"It's athletes foot."
[Hyacinth]"But it can't be athletes foot. Didn't you tell him you're a retired executive? If you've got anything it's executives foot."
Quote #2 - "Richard, do you seriously believe that I would have married an athlete with a fungus infection?"
Quote #3 - Your gout is an infliction acceptable in the very highest circles. It comes from an excess of good living. Gout is practically a pedigree. You have gout."

Answer 3

Don't forget Athlete's foot is a living organism and therefore capable of choice and it must like the idea of a fit fat girl or a fat fit girl (no offence intended at my heaviest I was 22st) so you're either too fat to be fit or to fit to be fat........LMIAOSFHISMS
