Who gets Fungal Infections?
Almost anyone can develop some kind of fungal infection. Some of these infections are contagious, which means they easily spread from person to person. For example, close contact or sharing a comb or hairbrush with someone who has tinea can spread the fungus from one person to another. Fungi need a warm, dark, and humid place to grow which is why public showers, pools, locker rooms, and even the warmth of shoes and socks can be considered the perfect environment for developing fungal infection.
