Stinky Feet

Our feet have their share of normal bacteria, which produce stinky sulfurous odor when they come into contact with moisture from socks and shoes or when your feet become sweaty. The solution is to always keep your feet dry. Your socks should be made of absorbent cotton and your shoes from breathable materials, like canvas and leather. Sprinkle a drying powder in your shoes every morning, and place a desiccant in them when you put them away. Treat your feet to a relaxing and cleansing soak in a basin of regular tea to let the tannins in the tea to inhibit sweat production temporarily. You may have fungal or bacterial infection if your feet are red, swollen, or scaly, and you should see a doctor for proper treatment.
