Today, my sister found out she contracted ringworm and scabies from her best friend's rescued kittens. The entire family now has to be treated to prevent it from spreading. There are 7 people in our house and none of us have health insurance. FML

I'm a nurse. The topical cream treatment for scabies is about $30 per person. that's probably the cheapest route to go. and for the ringworm, you can try an over the counter antifungal first.

You can't contract scabies from animals or vice versa. So you might need to figure out the actual source! ;)

doesn't it suck to be American? why dont you move to Canada and not have to worry about becoming broke because you got sick?

Ringworm isn't communicable between humans when caught from an animal. Animal->Human can't spread Human->Human can Just sayin'. Sorry about the scabies though.

You have those the wrong way round.. You can't transmit animal scabies, you can transmit ringworm..

Wow, so glad I'm Britsh, NHS means no health insurance issues could never afford! FYL

in good news, NO health insurance is way better than crappy insurance. Hospitals HAVE to treat you, no insurance means they will write off the bill for tax purposes 99% of the time
