How it Spreads
How You Know
Ringworm can spread very easily. when someone is infected with ringworm anything they touch with their infection is contaminated. If someone else touches the spot someone touched with the infection, they will be infected too. It spreads like that, because when you touch something with the infection part of the fungi splits to stay on the object.
To know if you have ringworm is by checking if you have red rings on your skin. If your skin starts to flake off and crack, you will have to go to the doctor for a diagnosis.
