| Description |
English: Caption: Podoconiosis is a lymphedema associated with genetic susceptibility and barefoot exposure to particulates in volcanic soil. It affects 1 in 20 individuals in poor, endemic areas and is a neglected tropical disease. To avoid the condition, individuals are encouraged to wear shoes and socks and wash the soil from their feet, practices that are not easy to achieve and are considered luxuries among the poor, such as the Ethiopian farmer whose feet are depicted. |
