Nigel please correct me if I am wrong. I think he means that someone with ringworm shoud be under treatment 5 days prior to taking a skin release form to a Dr. for signature.
I have 2 sons that wrestle. 1 has acquired ringworm 3 times over the last 6 years. I am not sure how it works. Just because you have used an antibiotic for 48 hours - does NOT make you "NON CONTAGIOUS". We have been to several different physicians! I find it very very sad that doctors will allow atheletes to wrestle with ringworm - " Its only a fungus" ! I guess it depends on what MD you talk to!
