Ringworm - What It Is and How to Remove from Carpet
Ringworm is a skin infection caused by a fungus. Ringworm can affect skin on the body (tinea corporis), scalp (tinea capitis), groin area (tinea cruris, also called jock itch) or feet (tinea pedis, also called athlete’s foot). Ringworm is characterized by patches of rough, reddened skin. Raised eruptions usually form the circular pattern that gives the condition its name. As lesions grow, the centers start to heal. The inflamed borders expand and spread the infection. Ringworm may also be referred to as dermatophyte infection. It is more common in males than females, and is most common among children ages three to nine years.
Ringworm can be caught from other humans, both by direct contact and by prolonged contact with flakes of shed skin (from sharing clothes or from house dust, for instance). Ringworm spreads readily.
To clean, disinfect and deodorize, pre-clean contaminated area with Sporicidin Disinfectant Solution® to remove excess vegetative growth, filth or contaminates. Thoroughly wet pre-cleaned area with Sporicidin Disinfectant Solution and allow surfaces to remain wet for ten minutes. Sporicidin can be applied by hand sprayer, sponge, mop, cloth, pressure sprayer, fogging device, portable sprayer, portable or truckmounted carpet cleaning machine.
