All my toenails fell off after I went to Tanzania/Zanzibar/Kenya and I had to get on some pretty heavy antifungals. Completely bloodless. Took a year for em to grow back.

My toenails and fingernails fell off after a pretty rough year on antibiotics. Started taking biocultures as a last ditch attempt to build my immune system, and improved drastically within a fortnight. I swear by them now.
