Lut, although it is going to be a pain to treat everyone, there are a couple of things I have learned in the past.
1. Tinactin (used for jock itch) will kill the fungus on the human population.
2. Revolution (a flea treatment) when given to the cats will kill their infestations too. I don't know if you can find that drug/treatment where you live.
When I first got Chloe, I do believe, or maybe JuniRose, the breeder I got them from was having an outbreak of ringworm, brought in from a carrier cat, and I had a couple of months worth of Revolution to give to the kitten. I don't recall much beyond that.
Also, my first Aby, Mandy, must have been a carrier, as I got ringworm from her. I had a spot on my leg. Mandy never had any visable signs. It took my doctor a couple of visits to figure it out, but eventually, I went to the drug store and bought Tinactin, a fugus killer. All gone.
Some other folks may have better advice. You will get through it. It is all part of having pets. It reminds me of the same stigma when kids come home from school with head lice. Everyone panics and gets the creeps from just the thought of little bugs..... Ringworm is not really a worm....but a fungus. I guess you know that.
Keep us posted. Get the pocketbook out!
