Brushing up against one of these creepers can result in red raised patches, often with blisters, swelling, warmth, and, of course, itching; the reaction usually appears 12 to 72 hours after exposure.

Athlete’s foot
The name conjures up grimy locker rooms, but you can get athlete’s foot even if you’d never dream of strolling around barefoot at the gym. This fungal infection can take hold if your feet get sweaty in closed-toe shoes, if you have a minor skin or nail injury, or even if you get a pedicure with poorly sterilized tools.
