Aside from locker rooms and pools, where are some other possible places you could contract nail fungus?

I often worry about this when working in any ';dirty'; areas in general, because when I was younger I had contracted one. And the last thing I want is for it to happen again! I also don't really wear gloves all the time, which opens me up to exposure.
