Do people with AS get more nail fungus than the general public? By the adds it would seem so I personally never knew anyone with it . It looks gross and is on evey page maybe we could get better adds

What ads?

I don't see any.

Is this my mozilla firefox?

Will pay more attention @ school due to using IE there.

If one spends even a small time time tuned into an R.F. media (broadcast radio, television, etc) you will be bombarded with the ad's for nail fungus like it's the most serious threat to the health and well-being of the country...that, along with male erectile disfunction, baldness, etc, along with all the countless ad's for placebos that are supposed to solve practically every ache and pain out there, and every little sniffle your will do now and in the future

In fact, I just noticed an ad popped up at the bottom of the screen for nail fungus as I type this message!

Yes, I do. (get those ads, I mean!) And I am thoroughly sick of them. (literally, they are making me sick!)

Nope. I'm just getting a ton of ads for financial data and diesel engines for some reason.

I have never gotten nail fungus before, but the closest thing I can think of to a fungus that I have gotten is Athlete's Foot

I just have a big annoyance over mis-directed ad's. I don't mind viewing advertisments from products and services that I can use, and in fact, I ENCOURAGE companies to send me ad's from things I'm intereted in. I get all sorts of catalogs and ad's in the mail from electronics dealers, music shops, computer shops, car customizing shops, etc. I do business with these companies too. Their advertisments serve a purpose. They let an interested party know what their latest and greatest products are.

I get so annoyed by all the crap going around out there that serves NO INTEREST to me! Shoving these ad's in my face does nothing but turn me OFF of the company in question. For instance, I have long, thick hair, so don't even try and sell me some baldness remedy (even if I was loosing my hair, I wouldn't fret over spending fortunes on iffy products anyways!) I also don't have problems with E.D, and have quite the opposite issue, so stop shoving viagra and levetra, and whatever else is out there at me. I'm also rather underweight, so get all those diet pills and other snake-oils away from me ( if I was overweight, I'd loose it through exercise and proper eating anyways!) You D2D siding companies, go away...can't you see I live in a brick house! Cell phone companies are annoying too, always approaching me in the mall and stuff. Yes, there are actually people out there that don't want a cell phone, and no reasoning with me is going to change my mind!

I cannot see the logic in carpet-bombing the masses with advertisments for products and services most people don't need. It's not only a waste of money, but yields low results, and just plain annoys consumers, and could even create the OPPOSITE effect of shooing people away from an annoying company that won't get out of their face!

Aspies are 9 times more likely to develope nail fungus. It is considered to be one of the more difficult challenges presented by the syndrome.

I've never had that problem, the only fungus I've dealt with in that area is athlete's foot.

So tell us, mikibacsil 124, does the product Lamisil really work? We are all dying to know. If it helps even one person eliminate nail fungus then the annoying ads are worth it.
