How nanotechnology and 'silver socks' can help you beat smelly feet
Think of nanotechnology and it's easy to conjure up images of ultra hi-tech microscopic robots solving all of society's ills.
But nanotechnology is part of the present, not just the future and, for those of us who suffer from foot odour and smelly feet, nanotechnology is already helping us to get rid of those all too familiar cheesy smells.
This works because at the microscopic scale of nanoparticles, a tiny amount of silver can eliminate a large amount of bacteria and it is this bacteria which causes disease and generates that unwanted foot odour.
Just a few micrograms of silver nanoparticles are carefully woven into the fibres that make up the cloth used for socks and this completely eliminates smelly foot odours and can also significantly reduce athlete's foot, an uncomfortable fungal infection that often causes smelly feet.
Silver socks prevent foot odour
Special socks containing silver nano-particles are already available and successfully preventing foot odour.
Silver containing textiles have undergone further research which shows they are also useful as a treatment for neurodermatitis.
So next time you are looking to buy new socks, remember to look out for those with silver nano technology.
They may cost a bit more but they will help beat smelly feet!
