Amanqabi aphilileyo. Ngaba ingaba yeyakho yintlobo yesimidi - ngokukrakra ngokukhawuleza emva komhla wesenzo - okanye ungasebenzi ngaphezulu kwisebe levumba, akukho nto inokuphika ukuba le yinye inxalenye yomzimba onokuzivakalisa kwindawo engafanelekanga ngexesha elibi, kubangela iintloni ukungathandeki kwamanye amalungu omzimba (oko kukuthi, impumlo).
Iphunga leenyawo lihambelana ngqo nomfutho wenyawo. Ngokutsho kwewebhusayithi yezempilo kunye nenhlalakahle I-Wellwell, ivumba leenyawo libangelwa xa umswakama unyawo lukhupha kwaye ukufudumala okuvela ngaphakathi kwesihlangu sakho kudibana ukuze kuzaliswe iqela lephunga elivuthayo: iibhaktheriya nefungi. Le nkqubo yendalo yemvelo ayicacaluli.
Ngoko xa ndakuva kwinkampani efuna ukwenza iisokisi ezingenasiphelo zehlabathi, ndathi "yizise". I-MP Magic Socks ithi i-trio yesinyithi ifakwe kwiisokisi zazo - isilivere, ithusi kunye ne-zinc - basebenzisane kunye nokulwa nama-bacteria kwaye bahlale bevumba. Iisokisi zithi zenzelwe ukuba ziqhube kakuhle, ziphefumule kwaye zenzeke. Ndagqiba isigqibo sokubeka zonke iimpawu ukuvavanya ngokugqoka idilesi enye yeesokisi iintsuku ezi-5 ezichanekileyo zendlela yam yemihla ye-NYC. Ngaba iisokhe zikwazi ukugcina iinyawo zam zingenasiphelo kwiveki yonke yomsebenzi? Ndandizimisele ukufumanisa.
