What organ systems does ringworm affect?
Ringworm is not actually a worm, it is a fungus, and it is found on the surface of the skin. In most people the immune system can prevent infection. Many people acquire ringworm from kittens or cats, which may or may not show symptoms. Ringworm is most often a small, isolated lesion which goes away quickly with proper treatment.
Should you swim with ringworms?
you can go swimming at any time. Just make sure that you dry the area with a clean towel that only you will be using and apply anti fungal medication on the area several times each day. It will take a long time for it to go away but continue the medicine on that area for about a week after the visible signs of ringworm go away.

What is the best medecine for ringworm?
You can but it might not do any good.
Ringworm is not a bacterial infection (nor is it a worm), but is a fungus that affects the skin, hair and nails. It is, therefore, usually treated with a topical antifungal preparation, the same way athelete's foot, a related fungus, is treated.
This is a good question! You clean your body after the bath with towel. You rub the body with towel. The dead skin debris is deposited on the towel. The towel is wet. Here the fungus grows on dead cells. When you wash the towel in water sources the source get polluted with fungus. Many times the towels are shared by the family members and the fungus is transmitted. The formal use of towels, other than after the bath, by the other family members, is very common. The fungus is spread by air borne route after the towel is dry.

How do you get rid of a ringworm in 2 days?
The best way to get rid of ringworm is to go to the pharmcy, and buy MONISTAT DERM, has to be the CREAM, this is an antifungal cream meant for yeast infections in WOMEN, but I HAVE FOUND IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST AT GETTING RID OF RINGWORM, IN ANIMALS AND HUMANS, depending on how bad it is, some doctors might perscribe an anti fungal pill, but the side effects can be not so pleasant, rather risky, ONLY AS A LAST RESORT, but i have found OVER THE YEARS OF BEING AROUND ANIMALS ESPECIALLY THIS WORKS THE BEST AND VERY FAST,
you only need a small amount just enough to cover the area, rub it in until it;s rubbed in completely, WASH YOUR HANDS, DON;T EVER TOUCH IT AND TOUCH SOMETHING ELSE, ALWAYS WASH YOUR NANDS, IT IS VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS, IT IS NOT A WORM, BUT A FUNGUS, AND IS SPREAD THROUGH SPORES, SO YOU MUST VACCUUM, AND WASH AREAS THAT THE INFECTED LAY ON ETC, WASH BEDDING, VACCUUM AREAS , WASH YOUR HANDS,
NOW THE DEPENDING ON HOW BADLY IT IS, IT SHOULD DISAPPEAR IN A FEW DAYS, BUT JUST BECAUSE THE CIRCLE IS GONE, DOESN;T MEAN IT;S GONE, YOU MUST PUT THIS CREAM ON AT LEAST 4 TIMES A DAY, FOR 3 -4 WEEKS, EVEN IF YOU CAN;T SEE THE CIRCLE ANYMORE!
this WILL WORK, it;s important to KEEP BEDDING CLEAN ETC,
How do you treat ringworm in cattle?
Often a topical treatment of iodine will help.
The cows enjoy "foot fungus" meds being applied to the affected areas. (dont get in eyes).
--
1) Ideally Isolate the infected animal if possible. This is highly contagious. The animal and the area he's occupied in the winter need to be cleaned. After a few days he's likely less contagious. (Clean the area with a bleach solution).
2) A 50/50 bleach/water solution may be used directly on the cow. Also foot fungus medicine can be used. iodine is another solution. I've also heard about diesel fuel, but this sounds a bit harsh (I like my cows).
3) Wear gloves! remove dry scabs (I bleach first) and brush out (some even say this must be done in an area that can be cleaned and disinfected.
4) clean enclosed area and spray with diluted bleach.
clearly this does not work well in the winter, when this stuff goes nutty, but this problem is easier to fix in warm weather..
5) I find the cows love the foot fungus creams (I buy at family dollar), I guess the problem gives them discomfort, and the cream feels good when worked onto the skin. This gives them great comfort, but does not work fast.
6) If weather permits, wash cow with antibacterial soap. (dry skin carries spores).
7) be aware, the cattle auction is the breeding ground for lots of diseases and cattle should be washed with antibacteria soap before introduced to your cows. Perhaps even quarantined for awhile.
8) After the ringworm is cleaned, do not be surprised if it looks really bad with flaky skin removed. You might even see some surface blood. This is ok.
9) My cows stand still for this treatment and appear to enjoy it. I have not had any need to restrain an animal for this treatment.
After treatment of your cows, remove your gloves, wash your hands, wash your cloths, etc.
Ug...I dont slaughter my cows (nor my friends), but if this is your intent, then you might want to use the bleach solution, or follow a good withdraw period before....

How can you tell if a rabbit has ringworm?
Ringworm is a skin and scalp disease caused by several different kinds of fungi. Ringworm on the scalp usually makes a bald patch of scaly skin. People with ringworm on other parts of their skin can have a ring-shaped rash that is reddish and may be itchy. The rash can be dry and scaly or wet and crusty. If the rabbit has anything like this then it is most likely ringworm and you shouldn't touch it because you can get the ringworm.
