They attributed the reason to neglect of general hygiene in barber shops, and many men prefer haircuts that require shaving the sides while keeping the hair long on top, which are performed in “cheap and unqualified” barber shops.
Mike Taylor, director of the Barber Training Academy in Poole, southern England, pointed out that cheaper shops do not clean shaving machines well, which leads to hair collecting on them, and thus transmitting infection.
Ringworm is a common fungal infection, transmitted through skin-to-skin contact or through contaminated tools such as combs and towels. It mainly affects children, although adults may also become infected.
Symptoms appear as scaly rings on the skin, with itching and bumps that may be red or brown.
To protect against infection, doctors advise against sharing personal tools, such as combs and hats.
Dr. James O’Donovan, a member of a technical advisory group at the World Health Organization, stressed the importance of examining family members and treating them in the event of infection. He also recommended in a YouTube video that all family members be treated with antifungal shampoo if one of them is infected, even if the infection has not been conclusively proven.
Despite ringworm‘s reputation as a disease affecting lower-income groups in urban areas, the infection can infect anyone, and barber shops must be more careful in keeping their equipment clean to avoid spreading the infection.
