Assalamualaikum. Since little, errr. Since adolescence, to be precise, I've been using this feet too much, I guess. Thanks to these pair of feet, I can make it to all the camps, jamborees & expeditions. not to forget I've stepped at most parts of Melaka, Puncak Alam, KL & Selangor too, as well as more to come in future, thanks to them. Yet, as their owner, I think I'm being mean to them. Truthfully, sometimes I do have bad feet day like foot odour, blisters & so on & so forth which I think is not as bad as these two.
As the awareness arrives, I did my findings & as a result, I extracted this :
Why do my feet smell?
The culprits in foot odor are sweat eating bacteria.
The problem begins when bacteria become attracted to the sweat on your feet and start feeding on it.
The bacteria's excretion has a strong odor that causes your feet to smell bad.
Since each foot has over 250,000 sweat glands in it, and produces over a pint of sweat a day there's a lot for the bacteria to eat.
What makes the situation worse are shoes and socks which trap the sweat on your skin. Now the bacteria have their favorite kind of environment: dark and damp, causing them to go into a feeding frenzy. More waste is excreted, and when you take off your socks and shoes, your nose is presented with the results!
