Prevention
Prevention is focussed on hygiene such as washing hands, avoiding scratching the feet or touching fungal toe infections. Epidemiology
Tinea manuum is most common in young adult males. Dermatophyte infections occur in up to a quarter of the worlds population, of which the hands and feet are most commonly involved. It occurs worldwide. One large study revealed around 84% of tinea manuum was associated with athletes foot, of which 80% admitted scratching their feet, and 60% were male,

The symptoms may be more intense because a condition caused by prolonged weightlessness is usually quite unfamiliar.Space motion sickness was effectively unknown during the earliest spaceflights because the very cramped conditions of the spacecraft allowed for only minimal bodily motion, especially head motion. Space motion sickness seems to be aggravated by being able to freely move around, and so is more common in larger spacecraft. Around 60% of Space Shuttle astronauts experienced it on their first flight; the first case of space motion sickness is now thought to be the Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov, in August 1961 onboard Vostok 2, who reported dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. The first severe cases were in early Apollo flights; Frank Borman on Apollo 8 and Rusty Schweickart on Apollo 9. Both experienced identifiable and quite unpleasant symptoms—in the latter case causing the mission plan to be modified. Screen images
This type of terrestrial motion sickness is particularly prevalent when susceptible people are watching films presented on very large screens such as IMAX, but may also occur in regular format theaters or even when watching TV or playing games. For the sake of novelty, IMAX and other panoramic type theaters often show dramatic motions such as flying over a landscape or riding a roller coaster. This type of motion sickness can be prevented by closing ones eyes during such scenes.In regular-format theaters, an example of a movie that caused motion sickness in many people is The Blair Witch Project. Theaters warned patrons of its possible nauseating effects, cautioning pregnant women in particular.
