| | Toenail Fungus |
 | | Toenail fungus, known by physicians as Onychomycosis, affects about half of Americans by the age of 70. |
 | | Symptoms of toenail fungus, which can be caused by several types of fungi, include swelling, yellowing, thickening or crumbling of the nail, streaks or spots down the side of the nail, and even complete loss of the nail. |
 | | Toenail fungus can be picked up in damp areas such as public gyms, shower stalls or swimming pools, and can be passed among family members. |
