Is athlete's foot contagious?

How did I get Athlete's foot?

Athlete's Foot Environment FAQ:
What other areas do I need to treat?
You should disinfect all floors and bathing areas with a hospital grade disinfectant. Make sure that all bath mats are cleaned as well as the inside of tubs and shower stalls.
What about my shoes?
You should spray a hospital grade disinfectant into the shoes that you wear so that you can get rid of the fungus in the shoes. You should also try to rotate shoes on a daily basis. This allows each pair of shoes to dry out completely in between wears. Also, try to always wear leather shoes instead of plastic; your feet will sweat less in the leather shoes.
