Drug-resistant ringworm detected in US for first time, CDC says​

Infections have also been reported throughout Asia, and in Europe and Canada​

For the first time, two cases of highly contagious drug-resistant ringworm infections have been detected in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC says the infections were found in two patients in New York City who did not improve with treatments.

The first patient was a 28-year-old woman who developed a "widespread pruritic eruption" in the summer of 2021. The woman, who was pregnant at the time of diagnosis, had no known exposures to a person with a similar rash and no travel history.

Yep, here I go again.....L-Lysine, natural amino acid , not a chemical drug, gets rid of ringworm!!

Now waita minute, people actually take drugs for ringworm?
We all danced with that when we were kids.
We just used some 'salve' my mom made up on them.
I think I remember it being mostly sulphur and vaseline.

I've only ever had 2 spots of it way back when I worked in a vet clinic. I bleached it and threw a bandaid on it so it wouldn't spread. (I had one right on my forearm - then about a week later(?) on the upper portion of my arm where it touched when my arm was bent up, thus the bandaid.)

I remember there being a salve that was used on ring worms, back when I was a kid.

Hmm. . . New York City? This just makes me wonder. . . Highly vaxxed area. Just saying the obvious here. Vaxx is known to break down ones natural immunity system.

I was always told to take the green shell off of black walnuts and rub that stuff on ring worm and it will be gone in no time.

Very interesting. Where I live, almost all of the black walnut trees have died due to some disease.

Either way, both are highly populated.

Yes, 95% alcohol if you can get it in your area.
