Ringworm seems to be persisting and spreading with help from a teddy bear. teddy is old and fragile. can i freeze him to kill the fungus & spores?

Freezing won't work: No, the fungus could still persist. Either get it dry cleaned r better to discard it...if it truly is the carrier of the ringworm fungus!

Possibly: Freezing may not kill all the spores. better choice is to isolate the teddy bear and replace it with a new one. treat the ringworm simply with pure organic unsweetened grape juice topically for several days. ringworm will clear. Hydrocortisone will suppress symptoms but will not kill fungals. Food allergy and gut cleanup for the dermatitis may help.
