Inflammation in the toes, most common in young people, sometimes the only symptoms. Has little or nothing to do with cleanliness, however. Covid is prevented mainly by not breathing in the air infected people have breathed out, of course.

Holy hell’s bells, never even heard of that one.
Holy shit.
OK, even though I’ve never tested positive for CV-19, am fully vaxxed (what is it, like 5 doses or so I’m up to now?), I have extremely nasty toes.
I figured it was down to wearing safety-toed shoes (usually steel-toed) and moving at a very brisk pace five days a week. Plus the usual fungus on the toenails, and the thickening of the nails, probably attributable to aging.
Mostly been under control by using exclusively Darn Tough wool socks and trimming toenails as best I can. Last girlfriend, as an example, started calling me “chicken foot” because of my unusual appearance about the toes.
Maybe I have long-covid-toe and can get one of those cushy, high-paying gigs as a subject for experiments.
Most days I ask myself, “What would Forest Whitaker’s character in The Color of Money (film) have done?” And I always answer “Yes.”
Covid toe:
“Pernio (chilblain)-like lesions of acral surfaces (“COVID toes”) present as erythematous-violaceous or purpuric macules on fingers, elbows, toes, and the lateral aspect of the feet, with or without accompanying edema and pruritus”
“Among individuals with pernio-like lesions, SARS-CoV-2 PCR positivity rates ranged from 3 to 7 percent during the wild-type wave of the pandemic but decreased during the subsequent waves of SARS-CoV-2 variants. The association between chilblains and COVID-19 remains controversial.”
So it’s an observed association (toe chillblains in people with covid), but cause/effect remain unclear. There’s no treatment for it which has any solid evidence behind it, but high potency topical steroids seem to help people for whom the chillblains cause a lot of pain.
Gracias señor doctor.
Pernio appears to have a rather narrow range of symptoms about the toes.
That was wise and good of you to quell any spurious assumptions about the condition, or its etiology.
My toes are still nasty as hell, but, there’s always surgical removal of the toenails, as some long distance runners do, or just keep my wool socks on and never, ever look at them. With the accompanying shriek if someone else spies my toes: “Don’t you look at them! Don’t you ever look at them!” ![]()
Dude we need to talk. I could help you with those feet. Don’t come to my house, tho’.![]()
We’ll meet where your feet won’t touch my floor. Ever. Maybe a parking lot on the wrong side of town😊
Why, Mrs. Beckdawrek, are you seducing me? ![]()
Cute. Why do I say these things?
I think it’s very recent. This may be the end game his attorneys are hoping for.
I keep looking for an adjacent Godliness thread.
Those never work out. Cleanliness, though, seems to have legs.
I’d totally start one just for the lulz but don’t wanna risk mod wrath.
Yeah because in the off mentioned cite from the Bible, Jesus criticized the Pharisees for being clean outside but unclean inside, meaning that they were clean in their homes and person on the outside for appearances sake, but that their souls were filthy and disgusting.
This thread isn’t about the cleanliness of your soul and going into a thread about godliness is a deep pit that people enjoy wallowing in. Let’s not go there please.
Is there a Bible verse that goes, “Whooooosh!” ?
Acts Ch 2 v.1
HA!!!
Had to look that one up. Very, very well played. If I wore a hat, I would tip it to you.
Thank you!
I don’t get it.
I didn’t realize Honda made them back then.
I can buy that. Sounds just like my life.
Clean that floor and curse that humanity.
