OK, I am likely missing something.
I think of fungal skin infection as things like athlete's foot, ringworm and the brown liver spots from Tinea versicolor. I never thought of those as life threatening or needing emergency care.
Am I wrong?
Are some skin funguses more dangerous, or are you planning an expedition style kit more for use over really extended periods of isolation?

I also am wondering what your opinion of veterinarian grade medicines would be? I have not been able to find anything telling me if they are actually any different from the same drugs from the doctor.
