Ringworm questions! Thank you!?!
Question: ALL OF THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED YESTERDAY AT ABOUT 6:00 P.M.:::::::::
I'm scared I might get ringworms. My cat has them and i accidently walked outside and pet her before i saw the patches missing from her. Please help me. I touched my eye- I don't care if it gets on my eye- I just don't want it in my hair. I took a very long, hot shower no more than 5 minutes after i touched my eye. I washed my hands for about 5 minutes before and after the shower. I cleaned my face, washed my hair thoroughly, and my body without missing a spot. I'm worried i might still get the ringworms. Please, PLEASE, PLEASE. help me. I will do anything. Anything at all.
OH AND- her ringworm is not red or anything. it's just a patch of missing hair
THIS IS TODAY:
Nothing has happened to me so far. Should I still be worried about getting ringworm? How long does it take for a ringworm to develop into its ring shape? I do not have rashes yet or anything either. Please help me. Thanks!

You are going to be fine. You just shouldnt touch your mouth after touching her. I will eat my own cat if you get ringworm from that!
Make sure your cat is being treated, and get her done regularly. Do not touch her poo!! That is the riskiest thing you could do. Make sure whoever cleans up her poo wears gloves, and disposes of it safely...dont leave it in the garden if anyone could touch it...
My son just went to the doctor for that. We were surprised to find out that ringworm isn't actually a worm! Just a very bad rash. We were told to by Lamisil over the counter. Took care of it and it's gone.
