Dec 3, 2015 at 14:14 comment added jeelbear In that same article, it mentions that Griseofulvin was commonly used, though it is not used as much anymore. I suspect that is what the "G" stands for, as Griseofulvin is used in the treatment of athlete's foot, jock itch, etc. So, I suppose 「ぬる」can also be used for "applying" medicine. How did such a beautiful image of flames out on open water turn so... fungus-y... Anyway, thanks for your help!
Dec 3, 2015 at 14:14 comment added jeelbear I think that's it! I did some more research, and here's what I found: This link explains 「浅在性白癬」, which I looked up and found to be "tineas superficialis". If you look at that link, bottom of the first page, left side, the column there says that "superficialis" includes "tineas pedis", which is essentially athletes foot. For taiko players, fungal infections like this are pretty common. Tabi, man.
