question: Is dettol effective against fungi? I have tried everything against a foot odor problem. Broad spectrum anti-bacterial agents don t seem to be doing it. By deduction, since the odor continues, I think it may be a fungus, even though I have no symptoms of athlete s foot. Tried vinegar baths, schol anti-ordor spray, odor-eater spray, black tea soak, anti-bacterial soap, (with Triclosan), carbon filter insoles, boiling socks, freezing shoes, new shoes, and NONE OF THIS IS EFFECTIVE!? please help. many thanks.
