    all fun and games until you have trench-foot at the park later in the day (happened to me) … looks like the kid has Crocs on so maybe he’s ok

        well I’m not sure how making them wetter would have helped. it’s not a bacterial infection… drying would have done the trick

          If you actually got trench foot at a theme park, which is extremely unlikely, then there’s almost certainly an underlying issue of hygiene/fungus.

          Likely you got extremely pruney feet with blisters

          Actual trench foot usually needs more than 12 hours of soaked feet and cold weather because one of the contributing factors is cold-induced vasoconstriction that leads to underlying deep tissue death and nerve damage.

          Is it possible to get it in a day? Very unlikely, but possible. Much less likely from wet feet at a theme park or whatever, and if then, only from disgusting feet with an underlying problem already.

            you have such tact ☺️ I’ll make sure to remember these specifics for the future. I’ll wash my feet and think of you, thanks!
