- Clean Clothes and Linens

If you have ringworm, one of the most essential things to do immediately is to wash all of your clothing and bedding with extremely warm water and (if you have it on hand) rubbing alcohol or apple cider vinegar.
Ringworm can potentially propagate from infected objects to humans: This is how you contracted it in the first place, and it likely occurred a few weeks before your first symptoms appeared.
A ringworm infection can quickly become a vicious cycle in which the infected person reinfects others or re-infects themselves by failing to eliminate all traces of the infection.
If you work with a large number of individuals (especially children), your risk of bringing ringworm home from work is automatically increased: Be aware of the risk and thoroughly sanitize all clothing by default.
