it was mostly a joke, but most cases can go away with pretty basic and easy to do care, i would get them from time to time in a pretty humid city that used to live, so i set aside a small towel just for my feet that i would use to carefuly dry them after every shower, never got one since them...
I’ve always hated people who try to justify shitty actions by saying "I’m just doing my job." or "I’m just following orders."
Now we got a fucker that not just beat children, but kidnaps them to child sex traffickers too saying this shit.
