So you may have seen me mention that I have ringworm. In case some might not be familiar, ringworm is a fungus that grows on your skin, in a perfect circle. It is not a worm or any sort of creature.
So the creams were doing nothing and it was getting to look pretty fucking grim. Finally I found this shit called "Fungi-Cure" that you have to paint on with a brush. This shit did the trick and had the worm beating a hasty retreat. Well the area was almost as big as a quarter and had been covered over completely with a hard, dry translucent scab. Yesterday I noticed that this scab had busted in half, right in the middle. Since I could see that the thing wasn't attached in the middle and only anchored at the edges I grabbed a chunk and ripped it off. I looked at it for a second and tossed it in the toilet. Then I went after another and when I went to throw it in the toilet I noticed that the first scab was SWIMMING AROUND IN THE WATER!!!!!!!!
I'm not kidding. So what I did was pull of the rest of the scab in several chunks, go grab my camera and take video. Prepare to thrill to the sights of animated scabs on an undersea adventure:
WTF. THis is real and I'm not joking or fucking around here. Can any of TNL's scientists explain this?

I was past the point of nausea last night. I still don't know what to make of it.

Some fungi have flagellated sperm (like on the spores, which could be the hard part you pulled off). That's my only guess. Uh, maybe it wasn't ringworm?

If you're trying to say that ringworm is a worm, you're absolutely wrong.
In PaCrappa's case though, that may have no been ringworm and thus may have been an actual nasty living crawling thing.

If you don't have anything nice to say...
Ugh, that post made me more ill about this. Fucking gross. Flagellated sperm on my fucking arm. Pardon me while I commit a quiet suicide...

yeah ringworm is a fungus dak.
who knows what that could be pa. i know wrestlers get ringworm a lot from the matts they use and you're usually in a similar situation. i know you wear a gi but has anybody else in the gym gotten this as well?
