It may be quite unlikely that little care of your tootsies will result in a tasty meal; however, the Termicon Antifungal ads do succeed at grabbing one's attention for precisely that reason. The idea may disgust you, but afflictions like athlete's foot do give rise to spore-producing organisms that many people eat in the form of mushrooms.
Extrapolating from this, the Dentsu-Smart advertising agency of Moscow, Russia, has illustrated a rather repulsive image into a series of animated prints. Making the picture more easy to stomach, but disturbing enough to stir some consideration, the Termicon Antifungal ads serve up common podiatry problems on a silver platter. Suggesting a simple dermatological spray instead of breeding appendages fit for soups, hamburgers and pickling, the prints urge you not to "let fungus turn your feet into food!"
