Ringworm shows up on our pets differently than it does on humans. look for flaky or scaly places on them. If you don't see it, you're safe. Just wash yourself before you touch them so YOU don't spread it to THEM.

You can get ringworm fungus just about anywhere Pets are actually one of the lesser spreaders of the fungus Usually, only sick or immune comprimised pets get it Once it gets "established" in an area(room, carrier, blanket, etc.) it is virtually impossible to get rid of completely[not trying to scare you]. You could have picked it up just about ANYWHERE
Ringworm, being a fungus, thrives with moisture. We've always used atlete's foot ointment to clear it up, on us and our pets.
If I may ask, where is it located on you?
