A drug-resistant 'super fungus' that targets the groin and bum is spreading rapidly across Britain.
Cases of trichophyton indotineae - which triggers unsightly, stubborn skin lesions all over the body - are now rocketing in the UK, despite being virtually unknown just a few years ago.
Cases have surged by 500% in the past three years, with one fungus expert describing it as "a really big problem".
The infection is triggered by a highly contagious fungus and is typically caught through direct skin contact with somebody who's infected. However it can also be transmitted via contaminated surfaces, household objects or sexual contact.
Most alarmingly, it has been found to resist treatment - leaving patients waiting weeks for the rashes to clear.
Initial symptoms of T. indotineae infections typically appear as circular lesions around the groin or buttocks, before spreading to elsewhere on the body.
The fungus triggers a severe and particular type of ringworm, a widespread infection which has been known by medics for centuries, but has evolved resistance to most antifungal medications

How does it affect people who have their head up their ass?
I highly doubt touching a refrigerator door or a countertop is going to spread this disease… Unless of course your refrigerator or countertop or touched by faggots, Muslims, furries or any variety of trannies.
What a pain in the ass...
Caused by unchecked mass immigration ?
Just what was going to say. Lucky for the UK they have not caught a virus that causes sterility or E.D.
I say, old chap. Your arse tastes like Porcini sauce.
Imagine that. And other countries wonder why we want to be so strict about our border.
Very particularly annoying. Got about 2 or 3 shows into season 2 and just stopped.

Trichophyton (T.) indotineae is a newly identified dermatophyte species that has been found in a near-epidemic form on the Indian subcontinent. There is evidence of its spread from the Indian subcontinent to a number of countries worldwide.
Or a tractor seat.
Gross!

Does apple cider vinegar work well for athletes foot and nail fungus?
Fromunda Cheese?
Someone watches Seinfeld. 😎
Thank you. Trycophyton is an anthrophilic fungus causing diseases such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, and dandruff. It loves keratin and is very difficult to eradicate once established. Produces two kinds of asexual micrconidia and is a real pest. Much needs to be learned concerning the fungus.
Nothing some saved balsamic vinegar from lunch's fish & chips can't clear up.
That’s my understanding.
My sister had some kind nail fungal infection and the pharmacist said that after she tried her prescription and every other treatment on the market, to just use apple cider vinegar and that would take care of it.
Apparently, you do need to treat the nails at least twice a day to keep up with the fungus as the nail grows.
Definitely.
