FSC Issues 2nd Fungal-Infection Advisory for Talent (Xbiz)
LOS ANGELES - The Free Speech Coalition said this afternoon that it has received numerous reports of ringworm - a fungal infection that also causes athlete's foot and jock itch - among adult performers.
FSC is calling for any performer who suspects they may have the infection to stop working until the infection is clear.
"Over the past week, the number of reports by adult performers of ringworm has jumped," said Eric Paul Leue, the FSC's executive director.
"While this can be an easily treated condition, it can be painful and might open performers to secondary infections. It's crucial that we halt the spread before the issue becomes any larger. If reports continue, production suspensions may become necessary."
