Caught ringworm from someone’s cat, should I post to Facebook

[catphone]

I’m not sure what I want from this.
There are cats that come and shit in my garden every morning before I can catch them. I sometimes see them in the evening and shoo them away.
I know it isn’t the time of year for gardening but a few weeks ago I moved some shrubs around as they looked better in another place and I was mindful to not touch any cat shit or go near it.
I have now developed ring worm and it’s spread everywhere. I am covered in it, it’s itchy and painful.
I was advised that it’s contracted by animals, I don’t share towels or anything like that and it’s the only way I could’ve caught it.
I’ve finally got cream for it just today but I have a weak immune system and skin conditions already so I don’t what luck I’ll have

Put what on Facebook?

Why would you post it on Facebook? Ringworm is just a fungal infection, not an actual worm, with many causes. A steroid cream clears it right up. It's very common.

What will posting to Facebook achieve apart from advertising your fungal disease to the local community?

I hope the treatment works for you and you are feeling better very soon.

Bizarre

Sorry to hear you have ringworm, horrible stuff. But why would you post about it on Facebook?

It would be weird to announce to your friends online that you have ringworm

I like to keep my fungal infections off social media personally.

You can't get ringworm from cats pooing in your garden.

Are you sure it's even ringworm as when I had it it started small and grew so if you're covered in it you've had it a long time without noticing, which is odd.

Cats are going to go wherever they want, unless there's a physical barrier, and sometimes even then, you literally cannot stop them.

All that posting on facebook will achieve is to tell everybody you have ringworm.

LOL

I got athletes foot once, never thought to put it on Facebook..

🤪

😂😂 post to Facebook. Yeah go on OP.

huh?

I think you definitely should post it on FB.

Not sure what shoving it on Facebook will achieve?

If you don't want cats in the garden you can get things to stop them.

Its a fungal infection it could have been caught from all sorts of sources

You can't be certain that it came from cats so no don't post on Facebook.

I’m not sure your Facebook pals need to know you have a fungal infection? Especially on Christmas Eve 🤷🏼‍♀️

I dont think cats go on facebook

Ringworm is a fungal infection. How do you know it’s come from the cats?
Have you had direct contact a cat with ringworm? You’d really have to be touching a cat with active ringworm to catch it.
I caught it off one of my horses years ago.

I hate cats!!!

They probably hate you too!!!

I think the likelihood of you picking it up from carefully clearing up cat poo is very low.

My horse had it and despite me treating her and caring for her every day I didn’t get it.

You could get it from so many sources - it is possible to get it by touching something that someone/ something with it has touched. Could be the trolley at the supermarket, clothing or even soil.

Facebook. Ringworm. Lost for words.
