   Soak for 30 minutes each night (or up to two or three times per day
   -- if you are desperate).
   
   Do this for a week or two (for more economy consider saving and reusing the mixture of vinegar-salts for soaking repeatedly, if your feet are clean each time, and freshen it up with a little new vinegar and Epsom salts.) If you'd like, you could filter it through old tee shirt material to remove settled out salts, etc. , Begin killing it the first time, and continue about a week or several weeks, depends on depth and extent of infection. ,, If it is too sore, wait a few sessions before removing nail debris, loosened dead skin.
   
   If the nail is very thick, file and scrape it to be very thin, gently, without injuring yourself, to allow the vinegar mix to penetrate more effectively. , Air dry your feet, if you have time.
   
   The fungus really love moist skin, damp soaks/shoes and nails, allowing toenail fungus to get its "foothold" originally or repeatedly. ,,,
