A: First off, let me congratulate you on giving a whole new meaning to the term "telecommuting". Bravo! As for that unpleasant itch, I'm sorry to say athlete's foot is not solely an athlete's affliction. Lazy people get toe fungus, too! Not that you are lazy ; I'm not suggesting that at all. (Eating high-sodium corn nuts and watching back-to-back episodes of America's Next Top Model) Telecommuting requires a great deal of intelligence and personal initiative and can also be very isolating (thank God for Tyra-Mail!!!); not everyone is up to such a challenge. But, if you (have one of those handy TiVo contraptions) can break away from the home office, you might head over to your neighborhood drugstore and purchase an over-the-counter cream or spray like Tinactin or Miconazole to see if that does the trick. Or, you could attempt one of these home remedies I googled for you. I particularly like this highly clinical gem: "Get in the shower and piss on the affected area". So simple, and yet, so gross! I'm surprised big pharma hasn't found a way to charge us for it yet.
