Fungal infection
One fungal infection that affects the human beings is the athlete's foot which causes the skin to be itchy, scaly and dry. It is caused by the ringworm fungus called Trichophyton. This fungus thrives on skins with warm and moist conditions. The human body without these conditions can be able to keep the ringworm fungus at bay thus it is protected from the infection. An example of agents that are used to treat athlete's foot is garlic. This is a natural antifungal herb which has been used for the purpose for many years. The pros of this agent include its availability; it is potent and relatively less expensive. The oil from the garlic capsules is directly applied to the affected areas and it is a simple cure for the athlete's foot infection. Also, garlic can be eaten by humans. This internal content is important in strengthening the body system and boosts the power of killing the fungus. The main disadvantage of using garlic as a curative agent is its pungent odor which causes even the entire skin to smell. Also, it sometimes becomes hostile to the human digestive system when it is internally taken.
