So, there's been LOTS of talk lately among the crew I've been hiking with about blackened toenails and the eventual loss of them . Just wondering if anyone has any good ideas about the management of these little piggys during the process ??? The nail on my big toe is black and separated from the toe on about 1/3 of it. When I hike downhill, It hurts and gets worse. I know, I know, so don't walk downhill; But what goes UP must come down! I don't think wrapping it would be a good idea, cuz that just makes for less room in the boot. (P.S. My boots are a great fit with many miles on them.) Since I'm headed for Rainier in just a little over a month, I'm looking to continue my training hikes but not create a bigger problem that I'll regret at 14,000'. Who has the million dollar cure??
