Can pets ringworm spread to humans?
Ringworm can easily be spread from cats and dogs to people, and young children are at an increased risk of contracting ringworm. For this reason it is important to treat ringworm in pets quickly and effectively. It is also a good idea to limit direct contact between infected pets and other animals or people. Ringworm in humans causes patches of thick, scaly skin that may be itchy and cause hair-loss, as in pets.
