I have a fungus toe. It is the big toe on my left foot. Doesn't sound like a big deal, except for the fact that my husband is a foot guy. Yes, whenever we play the newlywed game, I know to say that the first thing he noticed about me was my feet.
See the problem? (No, not the problem that the best thing about me is my feet...the other one.)
So being the good wife (I like to surprise him occasionally) I went to the podiatrist. He confirmed it. It was a fungus. He recommended pills for 6 months. Six months of pills for a big toe fungus?
Not only that, I had my blood drawn, because in very rare situations this particular pill could cause liver damage...for a big toe fungus?
Yet, I reassured myself. My husband is a foot-man (among other things). This matters.
I drove to Walmart to pick up my prescription. $4 - now that seems to fit for a big toe fungus, I thought smiling.
I must take it daily. Naturally, I put it by the only other medicine I take daily, my birth control pills. That night I popped out my birth control pill, laid it on the counter, opened my toe fungus medicine bottle and slid out a large white pill.
It was David and Goliath.
I popped David in my mouth and he slid down with a tiny swallow. I reached for Goliath, with my water glass in hand and swallowed. He got stuck! I grabbed another swig and forcefully swallowed. He stayed put! Inwardly, I panicked. I reached for the refrigerator door...No soda? What do I do? I cleared my throat, grabbed another gulp of water and he moved.
I thought...all this for a big toe fungus.
How do the the smallest of things become a big toe fungus?

Try soaking your foot in vinegar and water solution to take care of the fungus without the Goliath pill.
