Cleveland study tackles hidden athlete setback

Athletes in Cleveland are facing a surprising challenge that rarely gets any attention: nail fungus. It turns out, this stubborn infection can mess with training, cause pain, and even derail careers—yet most people only focus on visible injuries. Now, Case Western Reserve and University Hospitals are teaming up for the first major study to figure out just how much this “hidden performance killer” affects athletes across different sports. The research could lead to better prevention and treatment, helping athletes (and maybe even military personnel) stay at the top of their game. Anyone else shocked at how something so small can have such a big impact? #Sports #Cleveland #AthleteHealth
