Going barefoot in monsoon can be risky. People who take off their shoes and socks may suffer injuries such as cuts and puncture wounds. There may be sharp objects under the water that cause injury. In some cases, these injuries develop infections that may require surgery.<\/p>\n

\n
\nSafety tips<\/b>
\n\u2022 Get vaccinated against tetanus. Teenagers and adults should get booster shots every 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wear sandals while walking in rains or around swimming pools. They\u2019ll help protect against cuts and abrasions and prevent contact with viruses and bacteria that can cause athlete\u2019s foot, plantar warts and other foot problems.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n\u2022 Many worm infestations may occur through the infected water.<\/div>\n
\n
\n\u2022 Fungal infections of the foot are very common.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Diabetics should never be barefoot, even indoors, because they may not \u201cfeel\u201d a foot injury.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If you suffer a puncture wound in the foot, see a doctor within 24 hours. A puncture wound must be cleaned properly and monitored throughout the healing process to avoid complications such as tissue and bone infections or damage to tendons or muscles in the foot.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Regularly inspect your feet for signs of skin problems such as warts, calluses, ingrown toenails, suspicious moles, spots or freckles. The sooner they are detected, the easier they are to treat.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Keep your feet dry always.<\/p><\/div>\n
