[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1526168, member: 968"] I show cattle and generally can get it cleaned up to pass a vet health check in a week. I am NOT susceptible to ringworm, so I do not protect myself. I use a curry comb, scrape all the dry crusty (even around the edges under the hair) until you are down to raw skin & it probably will bleed. Pour clorox on it. Cover it with vaseline. Put vaseline on it 2-3 times a day. I use my thumb nail and scrape the vaseline into the skin. By day 3 or 4 should have healthy soft skin. Biggest thing is to keep an eye out for NEW ones. I wash cattle with EQ Solution and it acts as a fungicide, helping not to spread it. Be sure to clean your curry comb and any other equipment (clippers) so you don't spread to others. Ringworm is like a child hood disease. Once they have it and goes away, they never "should" get it again. Any calves outside, I just let it run it's course and let any of them catch it. It's strictly a cosmetic issue. [/QUOTE]
