Yes, ick is highly contagious. Fish get it when they are stressed out, depressed, and/or weak. Ick is believed to be in water already.It spreads very quickly from one fish to another and you have to treat it right away. To treat ick, take the infected fish to a vet or use a home remedy such as salt or heat.

I wouldn't think so since ick is a scale sickness and you don't have scales. My fish once had ick (their better now) and I didn't get sick with ick. but maybe you should ask an employee at a pet store.

Fish tank sterilization will or will not help ick in fish?
If you're referring to running a sterilizer, it won't help a fish that already has ick. But a sterilizer is cheap insurance and will help prevent future outbreaks of ick and other diseases. If you're referring to cleaning out a tank with bleach and then reassembling it, this will not help a fish that already has ick. But if your fish have already died then you MUST sterilize the tank before adding other fish. The ick can remain the water and re-infect new fish.
