What are the chances of contracting ringworm from a dog?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well you have: Eat the dogs feces i think. So... If you think you did that - go see your doctor. Ringworm in a dog is not scalp ringworm by the way.

Yesterday, I touched a friend on the upper arm (3 sec)where they had a ringworm infection (unbeknownst to me obviously) they brought this to my attention and I immediately washed my hands and used hand sanitizer. Is it likely I will contract ringworm?
