While anyone can be a victim of getting a fungal infection on their toenail, there are certain groups of people that are more susceptible than others and need a nail fungus treatment.

Also at high risk for getting a fungal infection are those who wear shoes that are completely closed in without any opening, have a previous nail injury or have moist skin for a long period of time. Athletes especially will want to find a good nail fungus treatment to use as having an infected nail isn't going to do you favors while training or exercising.

Tea tree oil is a natural infection fighter that can be used against nail and foot fungus. Use a cotton swab to apply it to the affected nail three times a day. You can also use Listerine to fight the fungus. It is meant to kill germs and bacteria in your mouth and there is no reason why it wont work on your feet. Pour enough in a bowl or pan so that you can soak your feet in it for several minutes at a time. The advantage of the soaking is that it allows the solution to get up under the nail where the fungus is hiding. Apple cider vinegar is another choice for soaking. Try it for fifteen minutes per day.
