Detailed explanation-1: -Trench foot is caused by prolonged exposure to a cold temperature that is usually above freezing and damp, sometimes unsanitary conditions. The condition ultimately causes skin and tissue breakdown which increases the risk of infection and increases associated morbidity and mortality.
Detailed explanation-2: -Trench foot, also known as immersion foot, is an injury of the feet resulting from prolonged exposure to wet and cold conditions. Trench foot can occur at temperatures as high as 60 degrees F if the feet are constantly wet. Injury occurs because wet feet lose heat 25-times faster than dry feet.
Detailed explanation-3: -Any wet environment, be it from excessive sweating to wearing damp socks and shoes, can cause Immersion Foot to develop. What is this? It can take less than a day of exposure to poor conditions for Trench Foot to develop.
Detailed explanation-4: -When water seeps through your footwear, your skin absorbs the water causing your feet to become waterlogged, wrinkly and even smell. YUCK! The longer your feet are wet, the greater the damage to your skin, including tears and the formation of blisters and deep painful cracks.
Detailed explanation-5: -Foot Rot, also called athlete’s foot or the medical term, tinea pedis, is a fungal infection that commonly grows on the feet. The fungus – Trichophyton Rubrum – can spread to other parts of the body, such as the nails, causing fungal nail infections.
