A member asked:
I got dermatophytosis (ringworm) from adopting a kitten, can the spores go into my lungs? or nostrils? i can only see it in my face and arms.

No: You did a good thing to adopt the kitten. The fungi that cause ringworm cannot affect the deeper tissues of the body. They don't like the warm temperature and they are easily destroyed by the immune system if they pass deeper than the dead layer of the skin.
