All About Ringworm In Humans
7. Who’s At Risk
Nobody is completely safe from ringworm, and even the healthiest of people can become infected. In fact, a lot of healthy people that take part in contact sports are in a higher risk group. This is because they are more likely to experience skin to skin contact with another infected person.
People that live in a warm climate are also more likely to become infected, as are people that share clothing and other items with other people. People that keep pets, and other domesticated animals are also more likely to contract the disease. Another higher risk group is people that have a weakened immune system.
