Nail Salon Fungus
The Hidden Hotbed for Fungal and Bacterial Infections
You’ve booked your nail appointment, picked your colour, and are ready for some well-deserved self-care. But here’s the ugly truth hiding beneath the polish—nail salons, no matter how chic, can be a breeding ground for fungal and bacterial infections. With 15-25% of the population battling tinea (athlete’s foot) and 10-12% dealing with nail fungus, there’s a high chance someone before you had an active infection. And worse… most people don’t even know they’re carrying it.
Let’s pull back the curtain on what’s really happening in your go-to salon.
Where the Fungal Spores Hide (and Thrive)
Fungal spores and bacteria don’t need an invitation—they’re already crashing the party. They cling to skin shavings, nail dust, and clippings, living happily on surfaces that touch your hands and feet. Even if a salon looks spotless, these hotspots are often teeming with microbial squatters:
Unless fully disinfected between clients, they’re swimming with invisible fungi.
These should be single-use, but they often stick around for weeks.
One pair can see up to 15 clients a day without proper sterilisation.
The buzzy nail-filing machine? It’s often caked in nail dust—a personalised mix of everyone’s fungi and bacteria.
Reused for client after client, spreading spores with every swipe. Fungal spores can not only survive in nail polish but also multiply, turning your favourite shade into a petri dish.
Stop tinea fast with Jarrah TA35+ honey.
50% of People Don’t Know They Have It
Fungal infections aren’t always obvious. Mild peeling? Slight dryness? A faint nail discolouration? Most people brush off early symptoms. But these contagious spores hitch a ride into salons, where high turnover and budget-focused practices lead to “turn a blind eye” moments.
Technicians—often for revenue reasons or discomfort—rarely refuse service, even when fungal symptoms are obvious. Gloves go on, the pedicure proceeds, and the infection carousel continues.
Under-Sanitised Tools and Tired Practices
Salons often dedicate one trolley of tools per pedicure chair—tools that sit there all day. No UV sterilisation. No swaps between clients. Just constant reuse
Imagine one foot buffer touching 10+ pairs of feet a day, or cuticle trimmers snipping away without disinfection. It’s not negligence—it’s a lack of awareness and the pressure of fast-paced service.

How Real Good Honey Busts the Biofilm
Here’s where we flip the script. Real Good Honey’s Jarrah TA35+ honey doesn’t just soothe—it hunts fungi and bacteria with a vengeance.
Jarrah honey produces sky-high levels of hydrogen peroxide through natural glucose oxidase enzymes—way more than any fungal biofilm can handle.
Fungal biofilms are like shields, repelling pharmaceuticals. This honey dissolves them as fast as fairy floss disintegrates in water.
Once the biofilm falls, each fungal spore and bacterial cell is obliterated. Oxidative stress, dehydration, and cell wall destruction—it’s game over for microbes.
Tinea and nail fungus don’t stand a chance. Treat it naturally with Jarrah TA35+ honey.
