It sure sounds gross but when I came back to the states from Japan at 12 years of age I had the world's worst case of athlete's foot. Nothing would cure it and I tried everything the doctors could think of. One morning I was in bed, half asleep, with my poor feet sticking out because I couldn't stand the weight of the covers on them . My faithful boxer Pug came up to the bed and started licking my feet. I should have stopped him but it felt so good that I didn't. He licked my toes so clean that there was no trace left of the athlete's foot scabs or pus. My feet healed and I have never had any problems with athlete's foot since and I am now 56 years old. Sorry if I grossed anyone out. 73 Gary >At 11:49 AM 3/26/2002 -0800, you wrote: >> >>On the subject of dog licks, I sometimes let my dog lick my cuts.
