Can onychomycosis be transmitted to others? The family transmission rate is high

Many people have been troubled and tortured by black nails for a long time, and another major harm of onychomycosis is that it is contagious and can be transmitted to others. Therefore, no matter who you are, you should focus on active treatment of onychomycosis, especially since the infection rate in families is very high.

Transmission route 1: Indirect contact through vectors. Healthy people may be infected if they come into contact with things that have been touched by patients with onychomycosis. For example, if they hold banknotes that have been held by patients with onychomycosis, hold car pull rings/armrests that have been tightly gripped, or hold a telephone receiver that has been held, they may be infected with the onychomycosis-causing fungi.

Transmission route 2: Sharing various public places together. Common public places such as public bathrooms, public swimming pools, dormitories, dance halls where physical contact is likely to occur, etc. are favorite bases for the rapid spread of onychomycosis bacteria.

Transmission route 3: patient himself. Many patients will scratch themselves unintentionally or have minor wounds that can infect themselves with the onychomycosis virus. Many onychomycosis patients, due to carelessness, directly contact various parts of the body with their hands, causing the fungus to spread to various parts of the body. Female patients with onychomycosis may develop vaginitis as a result.

Transmission route 4: close contact. Family members and friends of onychomycosis patients have close contact with them, which increases the probability of contracting the disease. Therefore, the patient's relatives and friends may become victims of onychomycosis due to carelessness.
