I present this article on the perils of disgusto yoga feet with a vaguely smug nod and no comment to add to my previous statements on the matter:
“Most people know to wear flip-flops in the shower and locker rooms but they don’t think about it on a yoga mat,” said Noreen Oswell, the chairwoman of podiatric surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. In the last two years, Dr. Oswell said there has been an uptick of fungal infections among her patients who use mats that aren’t properly cleaned.
Fungus, gentle readers. Fungus from feet! Yoga feet! Okay, I'm done.
Ack! Ick! Blech! All the more reason to stay away from yoga ... and feet.
