Do the op say fungal? The post Sheryl was replying to claimed toothpaste is a fungicide. She's right it isn't. In case you can't find it here is the content she's referring to :- Toothpaste can be used to treat any oozy skin irritations like bug bites, athlete's foot and even blisters. It;s a disinfectant, antiseptic and fungicide. There is an urban legend that Toothpaste can be used to treat burns - It cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparktrader Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23569933/ Results: All toothpastes studied in our experiments were effective in inhibiting the growth of all C. albicans isolates. The highest anticandidal activity was obtained from toothpaste that containing both herbal extracts and sodium fluoride as active ingredients, while the lowest activity was obtained from toothpaste containing sodium monofluorophosphate as an active ingredient.
