Not sure how many people know this, but ringworm isn't actually worms. It's a fungus on the skin. It is highly contagious but it's completely treatable and not life threatening. Wrestlers often get it from close contact and from the mats at schools. My son came home with it way back in grade school, it was treated with an anti-fungal cream such as tinactin or lotramin. As a hairstylist I know that if it gets on the scalp it can cause breakage of the hair just wear the patch of fungus is. Maybe some of you already knew this, but some of the posts read as if it were some kind of worm instead of a fungus.
