Apparently I'm not that susceptible either or I would have gotten it long ago. Ramona (the transgendered mouse) had what I thought was a case of mites for a long time. I didn't think much of it since mouse mites are not transmissible to humans. Wellp, It wasn't mites. I checked the symptoms against a description of how ringworm presents in animals, and sure enough, it shows up as bare patches and greyish spots on the fur. Ducky. I've handled that mouse every day for months - he was my favorite mouse next to Luna (who recently died). Unfortunately when I found out he had ringworm I decided to give him to Asherah. I can't risk trying to treat him and possibly infecting rialian, the cats, the other mice, or reinfecting myself (hopefully I only have it in one place!!!)
