'Cattle feed' athlete's foot cure

A cream containing a common ingredient in cattle feed could treat athletes foot, researchers believe.

A team at London's King's College, working with Polish scientists, found the alfalfa plant contained compounds that fight fungal skin infections.

The scientists told a British Pharmaceutical Conference in Manchester the active agents could potentially be used as herbal antifungal remedies.

But experts said it would be some time before these could be available.
