What are fungal nail infections (onychomycosis)?

You (and those around you) can tell if you've developed a nail fungus if your nails are thickened, brittle, distorted, flat, and have turned yellow (without the benefit of yellow polish), a side effect of debris building up under the nails. Nail fungus - again, signaled by ugly, thickened, yellow nails - is more common in older adults than younger ones, because nails grow more slowly and thicken with aging - making them more susceptible to infection. Nail fungus usually begins as a white or yellow spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail, and can be caused by three different fungi.

Toenails are more susceptible to fungal infection because they spend most of their time in dark, damp shoes and socks; fingernails are dry and are exposed to UV light, which kills fungi. Fungus is made up of microscopic organisms that can invade through invisible cuts in your skin or through a small separation between your nail and the nail bed or after an injury (like dropping a hammer on your toes). As the fungus spreads deeper into the nail, it may cause the nail to discolor, thicken, and develop crumbling edges that are sometimes as painful as they are ugly.

Fungus usually grows when your nails are continually exposed to moist environments, like sweaty shoes or shower floors (by the way, it's not the same as athlete's foot, which affects the skin).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
