Don't use public yoga mats when going to a yoga studio

Citizen Qu: I like yoga very much. I go to the yoga studio to practice every night or after work at noon. The recent hot weather has not extinguished my enthusiasm, but I found that there are many blisters on my feet. I usually pay attention to personal hygiene. Is this related to public yoga mats?

Professor Liu Yibing, Director of the Department of Sports and Human Science at Jilin Institute of Physical Education: Yoga blankets are notorious for spreading plantar warts (common warts that occur on the bottom of the feet are caused by virus infection and can be self-infected through tiny skin damage). The moist environment caused by sweat is conducive to the spread of warts, especially public blankets are more likely to cause athlete's foot and plantar warts. So when you go to a yoga studio to practice yoga, try to bring your own yoga mat or prepare a pair of socks to avoid infection. (Editor in charge: Jiang Gang)
