As mentioned, all it takes is brief physical contact with other people for the disease to be transmitted. However, it will need to be skin to skin contact with the affected area. It may also be transmitted by shaking hands with somebody that has just been touching an infected area. It can also be spread to different areas of the same body.
Another fairly common method of transmission is by using shared items like towels, clothing, and hairbrushes. It can also be transmitted between different species, and many people will become infected after petting their pets that are affected.
