Mat Cleansing and Skin Protection
The Mount Si wrestling program requires a mandatory shower at school after practice. Wrestlers will also undergo a mandatory skin check before stepping on the mat for practice. Wrestling shoes are to be worn only on the mat and the shoe soles shall be disinfected daily with the shoe sole cleaner/disinfecting system. The wrestling mats are mopped daily with a viricide, fungicide, and bactericide solution. Wrestling mats then receive an Ultra Violet Light treatment. Wrestlers shall stay off the mat until completely dried.
Ringworm
Cause
Ringworm is a common skin ailment caused by a fungus. It begins with the look of a pimple and is round, red, and often scaly. As the fungus progresses, a prominent ring becomes visible and the ring may ooze a puss like substance.
Treatment
There are many claimed forms of treatment. The best approach is prevention and early detection. Wrestlers should have a tube of Lamisil in their gym bags and use the cream on suspicious marks. Any questionable marks on the skin should be examined by a coach and the trainer immediately. When leaving practice make sure to take a hot shower at school. Place dirty work out clothes and towels in a plastic sack and tie shut before placing in your gym bag. This will minimize the chance of contaminating your bag.
Return to Wrestling
Wrestlers may return to the mats when the fungus is completely gone or if they have completed a WIAA skin form that is signed off from a doctor. The form must indicate that the affected area is no longer contagious to others.
