Re: Is Trench Foot related to Trench Mouth ?

[Guest guest]

i don't know the answer to your question with respect to diet but i do know

that the human foot is incredibly similar to the human hand in terms of

bones, sweat glands, nerves, etc. if your friend's hands are okay my first

thought would be to take the shoes off just as much as possible. feets were

never designed to be encased in warm 'n moist casts (ie: shoes) for most of

the day.

That makes sense Oliver. She works for Pilgrims Pride - chicken

processing. She stands around in a hatchery in rubber boots. Lots of

ammonia from poop I imagine. Nasty. Her physician has prescribed

antibiotics, which I suspect worsen her ability to fight this. The

rash moves on up her legs. Smells really bad. Changing jobs as an

option is doubtful, so would airing the feet whenever possible

(maybe in the sun?) help? What about soaking in ACV? Thoughts anyone?

yeah, that's a tough job fer sure. rubber boots are probably just about the

worst thing to put 'round one's feets but sometimes ya gotta. i guess i'd

just try to keep them bare whenever possible: driving home take off the

shoes; in the house always barefoot; taking dog for walk barefoot; etc. now,

if her feet are in bad shape and she eats sad then i'm not really sure about

doing any of this. she could well get into a nasty infection / blood

poisoning situation if she were to get nicked in the foot or something.

tough situation. any chance she can get her diet straightened out?

another thought, i would recommend that she wear wool socks in her boots.

wool retains it's loft when it gets wet and will maybe help keep some air

circulation going. wool also sports some good anti-bacterial properties

which may be helpful here.

In our state that would also be a worker's comp situation. At least

as far as working between the state and the employer ...

Warning, it can get confrontational and ugly but really it sounds as

if working conditions are part of it.
