16% of French still think psoriasis is contagious

[Fred]

So not only am I contagious, I'm unhygienic?  

It would have been interesting to see how other countries did on that survey.  Although, as you said it was a small sampling, I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's fairly accurate and for most places.   I think the majority of people see it as a type of skin rash but that's because that is what I thought it was before learning anything about it.

Yes and you wouldn't be invited to dinner.

Like you say it would be interesting to see what other countries thought but this was a one off thing in France, but you never know as Leo Pharma were involved they may decide to do a bigger one.
