@drsermedmezher: “When You Realise It’s Not Water…” #ew Despite its name, ringworm isn’t caused by a worm at all. It’s actually a skin infection caused by a type of fungus that thrives in warm, moist environments. The name "ringworm" comes from the red, circular rash it often creates on the skin. Ringworm is highly contagious and can spread through direct skin-to-skin contact or by touching contaminated surfaces, such as clothing, towels, or gym equipment. One of the ways ringworm can be contracted is through close physical contact where bodily fluids are exchanged, like in sports or activities involving wrestling, martial arts, or any situation where people are rolling on shared mats or floors. These surfaces can harbor the fungus if they aren’t properly sanitized. Since the fungus spreads easily in these environments, it’s important to practice good hygiene, wash thoroughly after contact sports, and avoid sharing personal items to minimize the risk of infection. #interesting #bjj #martialarts
