Re: Ringworm

[Gloria Lane]

I use Golden Seal on ringworm - works pretty well, unless it's in the  
eyes, and don't use it there unless I have an "eye" formula.  I buy an  
$8 bottle(tincture) at the health food store.  IT has a dropper, but  
sometimes I just use s q-tip.

I never do massive daily cleaning - don't have time.  I treat it, it  
goes away, I no longer have it.

Had one little Persian with ringworm, that a groomer suggested a  
specific type bath for - and it sure did work.  Have to look it up to  
see what kind of bath.

A bit OT but I figure if anyone has had experience & is  
knowledgeable, it would be someone here…  Ringworm—suddenly have an  
outbreak; have 6 cats presently (1 waiting for adopter)—only a  
couple seem to have it—long story of how it managed to get in but  
now I’m really lost.  I have meds from vet to apply & shampoo.  BUT  
how do I clean!    I borrowed a Wood’s Lamp from someone and of  
course I see things glowing everywhere!!!!!!!!  Is the lamp good to  
check for spores on fabric (clothes, rugs, etc) & walls or is it  
only for checking living things (me and the cats—LOL).  I am  
starting to scrub and clean but now wonder, do I do that massive  
cleaning every day?  I can’t keep the cats confined though I did  
close them out of one of the bedrooms.  Outside of that, they’re  
everywhere and NOT trained to stay off furniture-LOL.  Any tips,  
suggestions, etc. would be sooooo gratefully appreciated.
