Did anyone else who served in Viet Nam develop Jungle Rot on their hands and feet?
Some GIs got it but it was treatable. Jungle rot is (or was at the time) akin to WWIs "trench foot." Both were obtained by fighting men when their feet were exposed to dampness without fresh/dry air for extended lengths of time. The term trench foot came from the men serving in the trenches of the First World War.
