You can get ringworm by touching a contagious person or pet, but also from any other kind of contact with the fungus. For instance, you can get ringworm when you’re walking barefoot, such as when you’re at a public shower or public pool where people with fungus also walk barefoot. You can also get ringworms from hairbrushes, unwashed clothing, and toys that are shared between people. Ringworm is caused by a fungus and occurs in people when they come into direct contact with it. Ringworm of the scalp is most common in children, jock itch is most common in adolescent boys and men, and athlete’s foot is most common in people walking barefoot in public places.
