Patient discussions
Advise patients to:
Disinfect hairbrushes and combs, because spores have been isolated on these fomites
Wear loose-fitting clothing
Avoid sharing clothes and hairbrushes/combs
Avoid walking barefoot in public bathing areas
After washing, thoroughly dry any areas that have become infected before dressing.
In addition, regularly alternating footwear and using foot powders may help absorb sweat and in turn prevent an environment where the spores flourish.
