I work in a school setting, and it seems to me that white children have a problem with head lice and black children have a problem with ring worms. Does anyone know why?

White people don’t use stuff in teir hair like we do. I don’t think ringworm has a preference between black or white. I could be wrong.

Lice may have a preference for hair type but a lot of it may have to do with conditions locally. Do the black and white people in your area live in specific areas where conditions promote different afflictions? It could be a biological thing: maybe whites do have a higher resistance to ringworm and the same with blacks and lice. There is just too little information to give a definie answer to this question. All I can say is to do some private research and figure it out if the question perplexes your so. maybe you’ll figure out something important, or perhaps humourous.

I just wanted to reply to your mention of ‘ring worms.’ Despite its name, ringworm has nothing to do with worms. It’s a fungal infection, like athlete’s foot.

Something like that
