6. Who’s at Risk
Anybody can develop ringworm if they are exposed to certain fungi. As mentioned, however, it is more likely to take a hold in people that have a weakened immune system, and this means it is more common in people that have HIV/AIDS. Being around other infected people and/or animals will also increase an individual’s chances of catching the disease.
People that share towels and other items are also more likely to catch ringworm. The same goes for people that take part in contact sports. Wearing tight clothing is another factor that can make a person more likely to develop ringworm.
