Trench foot is caused by too much exposure to water. Trench foot can occur even after just 11 hours of damp surrounding the skin. At first the foot will seem numb, then would either turn red or blue and it would smell. If the case persists, it can even develop blisters and open sores. This will then lead to fungal infections, without proper treatment, trench foot will lead to gangrene, which will need amputation.
