Fungi- Ringworm caused by fungi not a worm, Thrush (candida) Ringworm- a contagious itching skin disease occurring in small circular patches caused by any number of fungi and affecting chiefly the scalp and feet. The commonest form is athlete's foot.

Fleas and thicks, Scabies, mite Flea- a small wingless jumping insect which fleets on the blood of mammals and birds. It sometimes transmits disease through its bite, including plague and myxomatosis. Scabies- is caused by a mite (like a tiny insect) called Sarcoptes scabili. The mite is a parasite meaning it lives off the host (a human) with no benefit to the host. The symptoms of scabies are itching, mite tunnels, rash, scratching and aggravation of pre-existing skin conditions such as eczema or
