With the colder weather now on us one of the more unpleasant maladies that afflicts bushwalkers becomes more prevalent. I refer to Volley Foot. This disease affects all forms of bush walking life, that is to say male, female, casual, tiger, day and weekend types of walkers. | With the colder weather now on us one of the more unpleasant maladies that afflicts bushwalkers becomes more prevalent.

Symptoms: Unpleasant odour from the feet area, an increase in the diameter of the circle of confidence, a desire to increase the distance between the feet and the nose. Secondary signs are damp socks usually accompanied by damp volleys. | Symptoms: Unpleasant odour from the feet area, an increase in the diameter of the circle of confidence, a desire to increase the distance between the feet and the nose.

Treatment: Treatment is simple and cure rate about 99%. Copious quantities of soap and water, the later preferably hot. In severe cases removal of the volleys and exchange with fresh dressing. The discarded volleys should he incinerated to prevent re-occurence of the malady. | Treatment: Treatment is simple and cure rate about 99%.
