The big deal is that the spreading of any communicible dieses gross, while ringworm and herpes are painless and easily treated, there are others, like staph, which is not painless or impitigo, which is really gross, and i've heard really painful. \
And the same bacteria that causes staph also causes strep throat(i think, or pnumonia or somthing like that)
SO...All you jerks that wrestle with herpes/ringworm/staph/whatever, don't get back on the mat till your "stuff" is gone!!!
