Doctors have reported the first U.S. cases of ringworm caused by an emerging and highly drug-resistant fungus.
Super-ringworm is on the loose in New York City. In a report this week, doctors and health officials have detailed the first known U.S. cases of the itchy infection caused by a contagious and emerging fungal germ—one highly resistant to many existing drugs. The fungus was first identified in South Asia, but it’s possible that it’s now circulating locally in the area.…
… while ringworm can be very contagious through direct contact, it’s usually mild and treatable with over-the-counter antifungals. But a newly identified ringworm fungus, called Trichophyton indotineae, has turned out to be a much bigger problem than usual.
T. indotineae was discovered in South Asia several years ago, and its spread with alarming speed throughout the region, especially in India. Even worse, the ringworm it causes tends to be severe and hard to eradicate, often because the fungus can resist multiple antifungals….
… health officials were first made aware of the cases in late February by the dermatologist, who had recently seen two patients with severe ringworm that wasn’t responding to typical oral treatment….. Specialized testing this time around confirmed that the patients were indeed infected by T. indotineae.
As far as the authors know, these are the first cases of ringworm caused by T. indotineae to be reported in the U.S. And it’s likely that the fungus has already made itself comfortable here.…
… The report authors are calling for doctors to be on the lookout for this fungus, especially when they encounter difficult-to-treat cases of ringworm. They also note that routine testing can misidentify it, so state and local health departments should be called for help if they do suspect its presence.…

Is there a certain sub-culture responsible for the spread of this thing?
Ok people this new ringworm pandemic is spreading like wildfire. Time to mask up and shut down the schools. - Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Scarf Queen
Ain’t globalism grand!
MILLIONS of Unvetted invaders will bring in many things—including diseases we NEVER heard of.
From my previous line of work, I knew of three small town school districts that created a head lice problem in their elementary schools…two in Johnson and one in Ellis counties (Texas y’all).
In elementary schools you line kids up along the walls for any class movement.
Perceived problem was kids marring walls by placing their heads on the walls.
Solution? Carpet the walls at kid height in the hallways.
After a period of time, ALL the wall carpet was infested with head lice.
Yes, those school districts had a population of mojado munchkins attending.
Dangerous drug-resistant fungal infections ‘tripled’ in 2021, CDC says
‘The rapid rise and geographic spread of cases is concerning and emphasizes the need for continued surveillance, expanded lab capacity, quicker diagnostic tests, and adherence to proven infection prevention and control.’
— CDC epidemiologist Dr. Meghan Lyman
Gee, I wonder how THAT got here?
“..discovered in South Asia several years ago...”
CCP bioweapons production?
That can be determined upon close examination.
Most viruses, fungi or bacteria discovered by CCP since 2000 is likely lab tinkered
I have to laugh at anyone choosing to live in that liberal ant hill.
Most microbials are airborne, and best distributed via airports in diplomatic pouches
icymi - the covid injectable products included extra immune suppression for bacterial infections, not found in SARS2 spike.
SARS2 is nasty enough by itself
Cordon it off, no New Yawkers allowed to leave.
Might explain some of this fungus infection. I knew about SARS testings which didn’t prove favorable. Had explained to me sufficient enough to warn me away from being a ‘test’ subject.
I did not get the shots after researching early on...then those in my family who are in the medical field and their associates - lab chemists etc warned against it. All they said about it proved to be true now we’ve moved down the road..... I don’t think we’ve heard the end of it yet either.
Would someone with ringworm pass it to another?
Yes it is. And I agree with Atreides and I wish so much more pain, suffering, and debilitating diseases on the prosecutor, the jury, and Anti-Trumper New Yorkers as well.
