    What is the mode of transmission for Tinea Capitis (ringworm)?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A rationale Tinea Capitis, also known as scalp ringworm, is primarily transmitted through direct contact with infected personal items such as towels, combs, or hats. Choice B rationale Exposure to worm eggs through bare feet is not a mode of transmission for Tinea Capitis. This is more commonly associated with a different type of parasitic infection known as hookworm. Choice C rationale Sitting on worm eggs is not a mode of transmission for Tinea Capitis. This is a misconception and there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. Choice D rationale Airborne droplet transmission is not a mode of transmission for Tinea Capitis. Tinea Capitis is caused by a type of fungus, not a virus or bacteria, and it does not spread through the air via droplets.
