[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 745704, member: 968"] There is no vaccination for ringworm. It is like a childhood disease - it will run it's course & they "should" never get it again. If it bothers you, you can treat it. We have to take care of it on show animals. First, some PEOPLE are very susseptible to getting ringworm, so you might use rubber gloves. I don't - never have a problem, but I do think I had ringworm as a child. Anyway, I take a curry comb & scrape all the dry scale off until it actually bleeds. Then I put clorox on it (don't get it in their eyes - or you can use iodine - which ever is handiest) . I use clorox because there is no staining (show cattle!). Then I just keep putting vasesline on it. Ringworm is a FUNGUS, so by keeping vaseline (or used motor oil, like the oldtimers used to do), it smothers it. Thing is, you can work on one spot & get it cleared up, but they may break out with 1 or more spots elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
