Can humans catch ringworm from cats if so is there any cure you can buy over the!
Question: yes, ringworm CAN be caught by humans, from a cat. It's a fungal infection, pretty much like Athlete's Foot. I believe you can get something from the chemist. Daktarin or Dalacin C., but ask the pharmacist

yes you can get ringworm from cats and yes there are OTC things to treat it.
Tinactin and things for athletes foot and jock itch..Cortizone works good but tinactin actually makes it go away.
Yes, that is often the case.

Yes, humans can catch ringworm from cats because i did. I don't know about the medicine thing.
Yes, my daughter got it from our cat three years ago--she was kissing him on the mouth and I didn't know about it. Get the cat treated at the vet and you can buy Lotramin (spelling?) over the counter at the drugstore to treat the human ringworm. Keep the human ringworm infection covered with a bandaid, because it's contagious to others if someone touches it.
The human infection will typically last from a week and a half to two weeks with treatment.
yes.. humans can catch ring worm.. I'm emabarressed to say it but I grew up in the country in Ireland and my 2 sisters and I caught ring worm from our cat(I was only little so I believed what my mam told me!!) Let me rephrase... to my knowledge one can catch ring worm from ones cat!! I do recall going to the doctor though but that was 20 years ago
Yes u can get ring-worms from cats, i would anti fungal cream. Don't itch the ring worm and then touch your head, if you do u can get it on your head and it will make you lose your hair.
haha--you probably mean roundworm or pinworm. Ringworm isa fungus and can be treated with any number of otc anti-fungals like Tinactin. There are some other precautions you should take if it is ringworm. Check it out on wikipedia for how to clean sheets, towels, clothes, etc.
Yes, you can catch ringworm from cats. I know several people that have caught if from there cats. One poor souls ended up getting it on her scalp and lost most of her hair. As for getting an OTC medicine I don't think there is any. I would suggest bringing the cat to the vet and then going to the doctor yourself to get some medicine.

She'll know.
Transmission occurs by direct contact between infected and non-infected individuals. It may be passed from dogs to cats and vice versa. It may also be passed from dogs or cats to people and vice versa. If a child has ringworm, he or she may have acquired it from a pet or from another child at school. Adult humans are relatively resistant to infection unless there is a break in the skin or there is suppression of the immune system (AIDS, chemotherapy, etc). Children are quite susceptible. Consult with your family physician if any family member develops suspicious skin lesions.
Transmission may also occur from the infected environment. The fungal spores may live in bedding or carpet for several months. They may be killed with a dilution of chlorine bleach and water (1 cup of chlorine bleach in a gallon of water) where it is feasible to use it.
i got a ring worm when we first bought our cat...so i'd say yes... i was really young... so my parents just took me to a regular doctor
Ringworm is a fungal infection which gives round crusty lesions on the skin it affects. There are antifungal creams for it but I have never heard of a cat having it.
Ringworm is a fungus and, yes, it is contagious. DO NOT use a cortisone. Cortisones lower your ability to fight infection. Get a good antifungal. A pharmacist could tell you what works OTC. If you need something prescription, an MD can prescribe. But, please, DO NOT put cortisone on it.
Ringworm is common fungal infection. Yes, you can get this infection from exposure to an infected cat or dog.
