SpreadingThrough animals
Because the disease does not affect humans only, it is possible to transmit the disease to humans by touching an animal that has ringworm. Most commonly, it happens to people who have pets such as dogs or kittens. The disease can be spread to animals by any surface or object. When humans touch the animals, they are infected. Most pet animals, such as cats, dogs and kittens, carry the disease. Guinea pigs, farm animals such as lambs and cattle can also be infected. Therefore, touching them could also spread the disease.
