ok i allready know the answer since ring worm its a very contagious Fongus but i want other people to speak up in the matter since today im having a house meeting, and help me out with a humane solution to keep me and my pets safe yet not harming my roomates dog.
This its my roomates dog and he refuses to leave the dog outside or in a crate therefore my dog and my cat has to be lock in a room, Because i dont want them to get infected...
yet this its too late for me i just came from the hospital and i got some pills and creams and along with a badge of honor because of my roomate irresponsability, avandoment for his dog and bad hygene around others.
here are some pictures of the first week we are now in week 5 and the infection has spread all over his body and legs except his face...

Your pets (especially the cat) are definitely at risk. Keep in mind that you can spread it to them, too! So keep it covered with a bandaid if youve become infected as well. Your roomate clearly has neglected the needs of his dog by letting him get that severe, ringworm should never progress to that level! It is his animal that brought the fungus in, so it is his responsibility to keep the dog confined, if he refuses, then you must protect your pets and keep them confined or seperated from this one. Sorry about the bad luck!

The spores are all over the house by now. You are going to have a miracle on your hands if it does not spread to all the pets in the house. They can get on you hair and clothes just walking through the house, and then get on the other pets.
It spreads like wildfire!!!!
The spores can also live 18 months in the environment.....so you will have to keep everyone not infected out of the infected areas of the house for nearly two years.
