What Is Ringworm?
8. Hygiene
Perhaps the most effective way of preventing ringworm is to maintain high hygiene standards. This means washing your hands often, and encouraging children to do the same. If you take part in contact sports then make sure to shower as soon as you are finished, and make sure not to share items like towels.
Also avoid sharing other items like clothing and accessories like hats and scarves. Try and keep areas as clean as possible, especially areas like locker rooms. Shared areas in schools should also be kept as clean as possible to help prevent the fungi from being spread quickly.
