I didn't, but here's what i found.

Ringworm is caused by a fungus that grows on the skin. Once the fungus is established, it spreads out in rings. The center of the ring may clear up, while a new ring of infection develops at the edge of the old ring.


What Are the Symptoms?

Ringworm of the scalp:

Dry, brittle hair or hair loss in patches .
Severe itching.
Red-ringed patch of small blisters or scaly skin.
Ringworm of the body:

Red-ringed patch of small blisters or scaly skin.
Severe itching.

Contrary to popular belief, ringworm is not a worm at all, it's actually a fungal infection, like athlete's foot.

It shows up as a small red circle with a darker red border (about the size of a nickel or so), and you can get it anywhere on your body. It can be easily treated with an over-the-counter athlete's foot cream. To my knowledge, it doesn't cause nausea, although it does sometimes itch a bit.
