This fungal sickness (tinea corporis) can be due to an infection of another person or animal near the patient. Several fungi species can produce this sickness like the athlete`s foot (tinea pedis), but when is present in another part of the body, has a different name.
The incubation period is around 2 weeks, because the spores of the fungus can spread and be contagious, also in this period, the fungus can eat from the collagen of the infected skin and live with the water present in the skin.
If you plan on going for a run during a high pollution advisory your body will require more o2 to be able to produce more energy to keep doing that activity and of all your breathing in is chemicals and co2 if will effect your lungs and heart with poison (hope this helps)<span />
