FACT CHECK ALERT

A viral post claims that “sexually transmitted ringworm fungus” is spreading through intimate contact and is causing a major health warning.

📌 VERDICT: MISLEADING

Our review found that ringworm is a fungal skin infection that can spread through direct skin-to-skin contact, shared clothing, towels, bedding, pets, or contaminated surfaces. However, the viral image exaggerates the claim and lacks credible medical evidence linking it to a widespread outbreak as presented.

⚠️ The image also uses sensational language designed to provoke fear and attract attention rather than provide accurate health information.

✅ Protect yourself by maintaining good hygiene, avoiding sharing personal items, and seeking medical advice if you notice suspicious skin rashes.

🚫 Do not share health-related claims without verifying them from trusted medical and public health sources.
