The first sentence is wrong. It's not roundworm. Roundworms are actual worms. It's talking about ringworm which is a fungus.
Yes and, not just one fungus but a family of fungi! Also it doesn't have to be sexually transmitted, you can get it from shared surfaces at the gym, public showers and even your pet cat.

I didn't even know I had a cat, so I'm excited for the possibilities!
Every citizen shall be issued a cat from their local ASPCA
i'm sorry, i'm thinking about cats again
Ringworm is a fungus? Dafuq? What moron thought that was a good name choice?
Isn't it also transmissible by skin contact and not just sexual contact?
Yes. And not just skin-to-skin, but also things like bath towels.
But it's gizmodo, which has always been trash.
So... It's, uh... Fucking fungus?
And it's a-fucking-mongus

Believe it or not, wormed to death.

Ringworm? My 2026 disaster Bingo card has Cordyceps. Oh well, 2026 ain't over and there is 2027.

Wtf is going on in the US? First monkey pox, then super gonorrhea, and now this??
This, like so many other things, started elsewhere. Lots of diseases migrate to the USA because so many people travel too the states all the time.
Ahh I see sex ed paying off.
Whatever
