I never knew urine was good for toenail fungus. Jellyfish stings yes but toes nope.

And I echo Brighlight....ewww no.

Yep, get someone to pee on the sting, stops it hurting. Easier for boys though  ;D

Got it.  My sister got stung many years ago, she swam off Plockton  ::) - the wee beasties got her, apparently.  It's a bad memory  :'(

My husband has had his fungus toes for a couple of years and we've spent a fortune on various treatments to no avail. The latest is laser treatment which has cost close to £500! His nails still look awful but 2 weeks since the final treatment and we will just have to wait and see. My brother had a similar thing some years ago and was prescribed some kind of antibiotic for 9 months and it went away!

Not sure about the rest of it but I know you have to take off your nail varnish so that whatever you paint on the nail will sink in. I've tried lots of stuff over the years but never tea tree so will follow your nail story with interest... slowly... as it can take a year apparently .....  ;D

Well, I've been suing tea-tree oil for a month now and it does seem to be working.  When I get out of the shower I file across the top of my nail while it's still damp then dab the oil over the nail and under the cut edge.  It was quite dark under the nail discolouration, that is almost gone now.  I'll keep using it but reckon it will take a while to go as the nail needs to grow out....thanks for the suggestion ladies  :)

Hm, had a bit of a toenail malfunction!  I was clipping my nails on Sunday when I noticed a crack down the infected nail.  Of course I can never leave anything like that alone so had a bit of a prod and a poke and now the top 2/3 of my nail has come off!  There is a little bit left on one side but it's quite loose.  I'm off for my monthly chiropodist appointment later this afternoon so hopefully she can sort it out a bit.  It doesn't hurt, just looks a bit weird.  Has this happened to anyone else?

Had it in both large toenails for years and tried just about everything. Teatree oil, Vicks,vinegar,foot soaks, etc., only thing that stopped it was one of those laundry bleach pens used after i cut back the nail low. (yes I know I'm bad...hehehe) :o

Someone doing a pedicure last week said to soak them in mouthwash. She didn't say what one so I don't know if it has to have specific ingredients. I said I was thinking of going to a chiropodist about it and she said, they will only soak them in mouth wash.
