THAILAND HEALTH ALERT!!

I know this isn’t exactly the right group for this but this is very important! 

I would like to share this because I know it’s a big problem in Thailand and doctors have yet to properly diagnose it here. 

Please share to your personal feeds to reach those affected!

Answer summary

A health alert has been issued concerning a skin condition in Thailand, possibly related to a strain of ringworm that is reportedly difficult to diagnose and treat locally. Discussions in the comments suggest that while some individuals have successfully treated ringworm with cream, there are concerns about a more severe strain linked to STD carriers that may not respond to typical treatments. The message encourages sharing to raise awareness.

Robin Smith Clickbait?!! Not everyone is out to get you Rubin! I could give a rats ass about clicks!

We know society is in a bad place when morons call out attempts at a good deed as “Clickbait!”if you knew how to read, or at least comprehend what you read, you would see it’s a strain derived from the STD carrier.

I have seen and heard of many cases in the Hua Hin area and know for a fact, the normal course of treatment for ringworm isn effective for this.

Ask your pharmacist how many of these rashes they’re being asked how to treat?

Robin Smith indeed. Three ways. Colloidal silver topically applied. Split aloe Vera leaves topically applied. Antibiotics. The first two are faster.
