Clean Hands After Gardening- Avoid Fungal Infection

This pandemic has opened up a lot of people into gardening. That includes me.

Here’s an eggtray that is repurposed as seedling tray.

One problem I noticed when gardening is fungal infection on the skin. Fingernails and feet.

The reason must be because we are working on soil a lot.

I thought the simple remedy for fungal infection is just to wash your hand immediately with germ fighting soap after gardening.

But I found that germ fighting soap is no match with skin fungi.

Something else must need to be done.

I am already using virgin coconut oil on my body before bath, so I thought I try to use it again on the tip of my fingers.

Especially in the edges on my nails where fungi might live.

I just put a drop of virgin coconut oil on my hands and feet, massage it for a second and re-wash with germ fighting soap like safeguard to remove the stickiness.

And that is it.
