Funny thing is that fungi are the opposite of bacteria and to some extent viruses.
Didn't had to worry about athletes foot when I was living around the 30th parallel.
Haven't even seen anti fungal cream over the counter at the drug stores and pharmacies not because they required prescription but because they were so damn rare that they weren't worth the shelf space so they probably only carried a couple of tubes behind the counter.
The foot care sections had rough loofahs and moisturizing creams.
Moving to the UK the picture is completely different, fungi is everywhere.
On the anecdotal side after never having it in my life I got ringworm(it's a fungus that feeds on hair and creates small red circles on the skin that look like curled worms) like 4 times in the first 6 months of moving into the UK.
It would be really ironic if the magic 15 degrees centigrade mark which made the northern hemisphere mostly free of bacterial and viral diseases compared to the warmer parts of the globe would some how unleash a fungi epidemic due to the developing resistance.
P.S.
Sony and naughty dog if you are trying to remaster the last of us again; stop, You are really doing it wrong!
