Today, I found out that people can get ringworm from cats. I found out because I have ringworm. I don't have a cat. Then I remembered I helped a friend move about two weeks ago, and spent the night sharing a bed with her cat. That's the last time I ever help her move. FML

Today, our new cat, which my mum was hesitant about letting us keep because she believes they're diseased, gave us all ringworm. FML

Today, my sister found out she contracted ringworm and scabies from her best friend's rescued kittens. The entire family now has to be treated to prevent it from spreading. There are 7 people in our house and none of us have health insurance. FML

Today, I let my new cat sleep in bed with me. It was cute until she wiped a tapeworm onto my arm. FML

Today, I went to the doctor for an infection from where a cat bit me while I was sleeping. Where that cat came from and how it got into my bedroom I will never know. FML

Rats!

Today, I'm feeling extremely sick and itchy. I'd bought rats as pets to help with my anxiety, and they gave me ringworm. I now have ringworm in about nine places on my body, including my face. I don’t know which one is worse, being dizzy from the medication or the itching. I’m feeling more anxious than ever. FML

Today, I found out why I had been waking up feeling like crap for the past week. I found tufts of cat fur in my pillow case, and I am allergic to cats. My little brother thought I would get so sick, and he could have my XBox. FML

Today, I stayed the night at a friend's house for the first time. I went to get water from the kitchen when I saw a cat staring at me. I looked back and it ran off. I told my friend about it. He doesn’t have a cat. FML

Today, I learned how my cat's flea medicine works. Instead of killing the fleas, it just makes the fleas move off of the animal. The good news is my cat no longer has fleas. The bad news is, the fleas moved into my bed. FML

Today, I made my way to bed around 4am after spending all night hanging out with my family. When I got to my bed, I started to clear a spot to lay down. Almost immediately, my hand touched something furry and cold and, fearing the worst, I turned the light on. Turns out my cat left me a half eaten rodent. FML

How do you know you got it from your friends cat? You can get ringworm plenty of ways, and it would be pretty hard not to notice that on a cat anyways.

moral of the story: never sleep with a diseased pussy.

It's not and actual worm. It's a fungus. Still gross, and quite contagious, but still.

Uh yeah, it's not exactly subtle when a cat (or any animal) has ringworm. They itch uncontrollably, lose their fur, and develop massive open sores from constant itching. It's bloody, scabby and scary, and is difficult to treat.

Should have used protection.

Tizzzy - When the original poster comments on their FML, there is blue ribbon to the right. Just like the moderators have a red ribbon by their comment.

Actually, if the cat has just recently contracted ringworm, then only sign is losing patches of hair. I have cats and one got outside, brought ringworm in and gave it to me. Didn't even realize he had it until I noticed a small bare spot on his ear. By then, he already passed to me!

Why do you find it hard to believe? Tinea is extremely contagious.

Well what the hell is she doing either not telling you that her cat has ringworm, or being a shitty cat owner that doesn't even know that her cat has ringworm?
