Invisible Plague
Cuba, Jan 25 – The microscopic and alive funguses are beings which are capable to remain locked in their spores and keeping that stage for a long time and they wait the proper circumstances to appear or spreading through all of the body.

The ringworm is characteristic of the dermatological diseases which were caused by funguses that appeared inside structures with keratin: The epidermis or the skin´s most superficial layer, the hair and nails are classified differently.
In addition, the funguses colonize the body´s tissues containing keratin, except the groin, the palms of the hand and feet.
The athlete´s foot condition is given its name from the trend to use sport shoe. It affects the feet in different ways such as blisters, flakes, ulcers or whitish zones. It usually comes with the skin´s reddening, cracks and skin´s irritation and there is smelliness in some cases. It could also be caused by other funguses and by bacteria.
There are other ones locally named as Tinea ungueal and onicomicosis ones which only cause the loss of the transparency and they get a yellowish color near white zones and a kind of white sawdust between the nail and the skin and it removes it. If it was not cared quickly, the fungus´ colony could be a chronic one.
