· The foot would gradually go numb
· The skin of the foot would go red or blue- an effect of poor vascular supply
· The foot to swell up
· Blisters and sores to appear
· Fungi to then infect the sores
· (A bad odour to occur as a result of decaying of the foot)
Amputating would be done in extreme conditions
Toes could fall off
Hyperextension of the foot occurs when the foot is extended beyond its normal range of motion, usually beyond a neutral position. This can occur due to excessive stretching or force applied to the foot, leading to potential injury or strain on the ligaments, tendons, or joints of the foot. It can cause pain, discomfort, and instability in the foot.
A chiropodist would treat conditions related to the feet and lower limbs, such as ingrown toenails, corns, calluses, and foot pain. They can also provide orthotics and advice on foot care and footwear to help improve mobility and alleviate discomfort.
If fungi did not exist, essential processes such as decomposition of organic matter and nutrient recycling would be severely disrupted. This would lead to a buildup of dead plant material and a decrease in soil fertility, ultimately affecting the health and productivity of ecosystems. Additionally, fungi play a crucial role in symbiotic relationships with plants, providing them with nutrients and aiding in their growth and survival.
Plantar.The sole of the foot is the plantar surface.
The first finger of the foot is called the big toe or hallux.
from trench foot or trench fever.
I think that the only reason trench foot can kill is if the soldier has their foot amputated and then during the process get an infection.
Trench warfare was the symbol of a foot soldier in World War 1. Most of the battles for the foot soldier took place from a trench dug for protection.
The remedy for severe trench foot would be amputation or staying out of the water
Trench foot would cause blisters and open sores on the soldiers foot. Often fungal infections would set in and gangrene if left untreated.
Horrible, they would have never experienced anything like it before, they would most probably get 'shell shock' and either get trench foot, lice, or shot anyhow.

The health problems of World War 1 varied. Most of the time men suffered from trench foot. Trench foot is a prolonged exposure of the feet to water. Men got trench foot from being in trenches that had water in them without changing their socks or boots. Conditions of trench foot varied from how much damage it caused. The soldiers feet would either get numb or turned red and blue. In worse conditions feet would swell. The worst thing that would happen is that they would often get blisters and open sores, which lead to a fungal infection, commonly called jungle rot. If it got worse their foot would get amputated. ouch!
During World War I, soldiers suffered injuries from the enemy's weapons, from natural forces, and sometimes even from their own forces through accidents and "friendly-fire" incidents. Perhaps most unknown to casual observers of the conflict, disease and other bodily afflictions accounted for much of the suffering of the soldiers on both sides of the war.
by not getting it
Trench foot was a common ailment during World War I. It came from wearing shoes that were constantly wet. Trench foot would have been extremely painful until the feet went numb. After that, gangrene would set in.
