Staining socks with beriberi will not cause vaginitis, Trichophyton rubrum is the cause of beriberi, and Candida albicans is the cause of bacterial vaginitis.

Beriberi is the most common superficial fungal infection of the skin, which can be manifested as heel thickening, desquamation, small red papules, peeling and oozing between toes, usually accompanied by itching to a certain extent. It is so common because it can spread through bathrobes and slippers. In a family with mixed slippers, one person often gets sick and the whole family's feet itch, and it may also spread from the feet to toenails, hands, thighs and buttocks. .....

Vaginitis in Huo Jun is one of the most common gynecological inflammations, and nearly 80% of women have had it at least once in their lives. Many times, it is not caused by foreign pathogenic microorganisms, but by the imbalance of its own flora, and one of the strains suddenly appears. Often manifested as vulvar and vaginal cancer itching, bean curd residue-like leucorrhea, and sometimes painful urination and sexual intercourse.

If tinea pedis spreads to perineum, it will cause another disease, tinea cruris, which mostly occurs at the root of thigh, ring or semi-ring, so there is a common name in English called tinea.

Rash generally bulges slightly on the skin, with a small amount of scales on the surface and a certain degree of itching. Scraping the dander from dermatology and observing it under microscope, we can see Trichophyton rubrum or its spores, which are the same as tinea pedis, thus fully proving the relationship between them: they are caused by the same pathogen. How did Trichophyton rubrum on the foot get to the perineum? In addition to touching other parts of the skin after pinching feet, bath utensils such as bathtubs and towels can also spread, and textiles that are not fully disinfected can also be contaminated. Therefore, the worry of the elder sister mentioned in the article, if it really happens, will cause tinea cruris rather than vaginitis.

Socks and underwear should not be mixed.

Speaking of mixed washing of socks and underwear, many people who have lived abroad will find it strange: European and American countries often carry out self-help laundry. Rows of public washing machines in the laundry room, everyone comes with clothes, and when they see which one is empty, they put them in for washing, not to mention the coat inside and the coat outside. Even you and I don't care, and I don't see that I have a lot of tinea cruris. Is the constitution different?

Don't! Don't! Don't! No matter white, yellow or black, there is no specific antibody against Trichophyton rubrum. The reason why some countries in Europe and America can mix laundry without spreading diseases is mainly because disinfectants are often added to their washing powder and laundry detergent by default, while the disinfection of clothes in China is not so popular, and most washing powder and laundry detergent are not added with disinfectants.

However, in some large supermarkets and e-commerce offices, clothing disinfectants can be purchased separately. Most of these disinfectants contain phloroglucinol or compound bleaching activator, which can inhibit or even kill common pathogenic bacteria in daily life, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans causing fungal vaginitis, Trichophyton rubrum causing tinea pedis and tinea cruris, etc., and can really achieve the purpose of extensive disinfection.

Therefore, it is not absolutely impossible to mix them, but it is necessary to add additional clothing disinfectant. In addition, when the washing temperature is higher than 60℃, the killing effect on pathogenic microorganisms is also obviously improved. Of course, the most important thing is to cure beriberi and cut off the root of hidden dangers.
