9Household Pets
You can also get infected with ringworm fungus via direct contact with your household pets or other animals. This mostly occurs when you groom or pet your cats or dogs. Thus, if you notice some symptoms of unusual skin such as flaky patches or bald areas, it is better to avoid touching them. Instead, it is better to bring them to the pet for a precise diagnosis and proper treatment. In case you touch them, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly, particularly before sleeping or eating.
