But socks can't be washed in the washing machine with other clothes. Studies show that the worn socks mainly contain sweat (moisture, salt, lactic acid and urea), staphylococcus aureus, fungi, old keratin and so on. People with smelly feet may also have fungi such as Trichophyton albicans and some odor metabolites.
If clothes and socks are washed together, it is very easy to cause fungi on the feet to infect the body through clothes. Both men and women should pay attention to this. People with beriberi and women are more susceptible to infection. After this fungal infection, the symptoms are usually itching in private parts, and some are accompanied by blisters and other symptoms, which can seriously lead to cervical diseases in women.
