Minnesota is in the midst of what state health officials call the nation's "largest known outbreak" of TMVII, a sexually transmitted fungal skin infection that can cause severe ringworm.
TMVII, or trichophyton mentagrophytes genotype VII, is the only known fungal-based sexually transmitted disease, according to the Minnesota Department of Health, and it's treatable with oral antifungals.
The first case was reported in New York City in 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with Minnesota's first reported case in July 2025, when a patient sought treatment for a genital rash.
The health department says there are now "more than 30 confirmed or suspected cases" in the Twin Cities metro area, and other scattered cases in larger U.S. cities. It's most prevalent among men who have sex with men.
Symptoms include ringworm on the arms, buttocks, genitals and legs, which appear as "round, coin-like rashes that are red and irritated, sometimes with bumps and pimples on top," according to the department. The rashes can be painful, and could lead to scarring and more serious infections.

Why am I not surprised?
Ringworm usually only happens when you have a compromised immune system. I caught it in 6th grade when I was on interferon. Took a couple of years to get rid of it.
Coming to an AWFUL near you.
Sorry but my g-a-f meter is not registering.
Oh, and the Covid fake vax also suppressed immune systems.
Yet another jungle bug. Good personal hygiene not practiced, usually because:
a) won’t
b) can’t (esp. in the jungle)

Have they checked Governor Walz?
Brought in by anti Ice protestors, most likely.
Kills everything.
Oh dirty saracens have STDs? Ya don’t say.
They traced the infection back to a men’s tampon machine in
a Minnesota learing center but the trail went cold from there.
Nasty skin bug. Can be difficult to prove diagnosis. Does NOT respond well to the usual ringworm creams and pills. May respond to lengthy high dose oral therapy with itraconazole, which is still fairly well tolerated. But some cases have required yet newer oral antifungals, normally are used for internal fungal infections in immunocompromised patients. Which have more significant side effect potential. The MN AWFUL contingent is not at high epidemiologic risk here. Not often F unless some other letters are involved.
Every newly discovered VD seems to have this characteristic.
All God has to so is let the nature he created take its course. No necessity for direct intervention. Very efficient.
