My rabbit has fungal infection.. ringworm..does it spread to humans?? is it zoonois??how can i prevent that?? what r d odds of me getting it frm him?

Stop googling!: yes ringworm spreads from animals to humans. It's hard to give the odds not knowing your contact with your rabbit but I wouldn't be surprised. Just watch for skin changes and likely can start with otc treatment if caught early.
