Unfortunately, yes. Ringworm can transmitted from animal to human and vice versa. When I was a young girl, I actually got it from one of my aunt's cats when I was spending the night. Once you contract ringworm, it stays in your system and you can get random outbreaks of it. It isn't as bad as you may think though. It's just a small reddish spot that itchs. It's not usually noticeable. Usually your doctor can prescibe an ointment for it.
