ringworm can be treated!
Ringworm is an infection caused by fungi from the genus Trichophyton. Ringworm effects anyone, but children are most susceptible to infection due to close contact with other children. The primary method of transmission of ringworm is through contact with an infected individual. It can also be transmitted by animal, especially cats, or through contact with soil. Diabetics are often infected with ringworm because they are generally more susceptible to fungal infections. Another group commonly affected by ringworm are athletes, as they experience repeated friction of the skin by clothing and protective gear.
Exposure to darkness, moisture, and warmth is the ideal growing situation for Tricophyton. Ringworm has been reported to have been successfully treated with H3O solution. Additionally, there are many herbs that are very useful in ridding the body of this infection. Garlic is especially effective in eliminating ringworm, as scientific studies have shown it to be a powerful antifungal antiseptic. Ginger is also extremely helpful against ringworm as it has a total of 23 antifungal compounds. Licorice, which has 25 fungicidal compounds, and Chamomile are just two other herbs that have been proven effective in the fight against ringworm and other fungicidal infections.
