10. You Have An Itchy Pet

Ringworm is extremely infectious and can also be passed on from animals to people. The fungus present in ringworm can live in damp soil or environment and can be easily picked up by domesticated pets such as dogs and cats without them knowing. It can then be easily transferred to a person just by a single touch.

Petting an animal with ringworm can be dangerous and it runs the risk of passing it on to humans. It may also be transmitted through loose fur on carpets and furniture so it is highly recommended to clean as often as possible.
