Yes it can easily be transmitted as long as there is physical contact - not necessarily with the person who has the condition, but on surfaces on tools that have come into contact with the infected part of the body. Remember that the fungus spores can live off the body for some time, especially in moist areas and objects such as bathroom floors, damp clothes, used swimwear (yikes!) and tools like nail buffers, pushers, nippers and even foot soak tubs.
So basically, yes. The condition can easily be transmitted.
