FWIW “ringworm” is a misnomer. It’s a fungal infection treated with anti-fungal meds, and not a worm or any kind of parasite.

You are correct.

Ringworm is a fungus.

My point was that CDC is nuts.

“FWIW “ringworm” is a misnomer. It’s a fungal infection treated with anti-fungal meds, and not a worm or any kind of parasite.”

Yes, you are correct. Many of us know that, especially those of us who live in the tropics.

I was slamming CDC for saying our pets can be terrible to our health. The gods forbid. Humans and pets can spread ringworm to one another.

That should be coming soon from the idiots in CDC.

My best regards.

I live in Panama. I know what ringworm is all about unfortunately

This fungus is called “ringworm” because it starts in one place. As it grows, it leaves a ring. That circle increases as the fungus grows larger and larger.

It also itches big time.

My best regards.
