Trench foot is caused by prolonged exposure of the feet to damp and cold, but is freezing, it was very common in the trenches of war during the first and second world war, when soldiers were standing in the fox hole, sometimes for hours, taking his boots immersed in pools of cold water. This condition could result in a putrefaction of the flesh and subsequent gangrene, with the usual amputation of fingers or the entire foot. The soldiers used to fight, change socks and boots dry as they could. It was common to see soldiers with another pair of boots hanging from her backpack to change his boots and prevent this common disease of war.
