DEW POISONING is nothing more than a Staph. infection of the hair
follicles. This is due to the heels being wet then drying out which
opens the hair follicles to envasion of the normal Staph. organisms
which exists in the area. Topical treatments at best prevent the
envasion of more Staph. but do nothing for the prevailing infection. Try
a regimen of (10 days) of SMZ-T 960mg. two times a day along with Corona
ontiment to the affected area.
