Word to the wise about Clyndamaicin (sp?). DO NOT lay down immediately after taking a dose. You will get the worst heartburn known to man, they gave it to me after i had my wisdom teeth removed and got a tooth infection. I layed down and it hurt so bad had to crawl upstairs to google whether or not it was a side effect or if i was having a heart attack lol.

Also fuck that keep it off the mats covered or not...nobody wants that shit.

Also congrats to me on my 1000 post.

The real nasty meds can/do fuck with your liver and some docs require a liver function test so they don't put you in the ER from taking prescribed meds. I got some nasty shit junior year in HS and the shit they put me on was crazy.

SBC and should be gone in a week. Wear Long sleeve rashies and tights and use a natural soap like SBC not something like dial. Also spray or wipe before and after training ASAP! or shower ASAP! and ya, I say do so with SBC Lotramin helps and stay off the mats until it's gone- a few extra days wont kill ya and I know I dont want to be rolling with someone with ringworrm that is "covered" but that is me

I got ringworm once when I first started training. Nothing over the counter seemed to get rid of it...and it started spreading. I went to the doctor several times. He gave me an oral medication of Lamisil. I went home took the pill and within an hour I broke out into hives all over my body...the hives got so bad that my airway started becoming restricted and I had to go to the ER and get a epinephrine shot to open back up my throat so I could breathe.

I'm allergic to Lamisil

Holy fuck! True story? How did you get rid of the ringworm?

I agree wih staying of the mats if you have the worm. That shit spreads like wildfire in a gym.

I've seen guys taped up and after they start rolling and sweating that tape is falling off. Ringworm can be very harmful to kids (to be read secondary infections), I don't want to take it home with me. I now ask guys if they have the worm if they are taped up. I don't roll with anyone who has the worm, and I don't roll where they were rolling at

After every session I spray antifungal spray on all exposed skin. I then go home and shower (i have about an hour ride home from the gym) and the clothes and towels I used go right in the washer. I got the worm really bad one time, I'll never get it like that again. I buy an off brand (generic label) spray, tenactin is a brand name. Look for something with tolnaftate in it

it is mainly skin to skin contact for transfer, but can be done through sweat on a mat and the skin contact with that sweat if the right conditions exist in the gym (heat, light, humidity etc).

Just one man's opinion and experience, do your own due diligence. I did.

Winding down week 1 of my first ringworm (yesh) also ordered my first defense soap too this week....reminder to everyone shower asap when done rolling and watch out for any cuts u get if rolling (that's how I think I caught mine). Also not sure if that discount code still works but I stumbled upon the thread, so reminder to anyone who may order defense soap down the road...
