Re: Re: Re: Trench Foot on 02/07/2012 09:36:59 MST

I had what i believe was trench foot on a 17 day canoe trip down the Michigamme and Menomonee rivers. I wore thick wool and merrel hiking boots all day and developed the pitted/falling off flesh on the balls of my feet. My understanding it is due to the cells basically exploding due to an upset in the water barrier balance. Am I crazy?
