Most of us don't need this reminder, but for those that may not be familiar with ringworm, I'll post a few things we've seen. We don't know if it is something that was brought in by our open room night, or if we brought it back from tourneys, but we had a few kids that got ringworm. It has been treated and is completely under control.

PLEASE do regular skinchecks with your kids. You'll find ringworm in places you may not easily see it. Armpits, back of legs, check 'em over good. The whole wrestling community has to do their part to keep from spreading that stuff. One tourney, or one practice, isn't worth giving that stuff to someone else, who might give it to someone else, etc. etc.

We also mop our mats with the good mat cleaner EVERY night. We tell the kids to shower as SOON as they get in the door, and to use Head and Shoulders, or some sort of antifungal shampoo to wash their whole body. Not lecturing anyone, just a reminder.

If anyone has anything to add to this, as far as tips or experiences, please do so.

Thanks
Doug
