Today, I found out that people can get ringworm from cats. I found out because I have ringworm. I don't have a cat. Then I remembered I helped a friend move about two weeks ago, and spent the night sharing a bed with her cat. That's the last time I ever help her move. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, our new cat, which my mum was hesitant about letting us keep because she believes they're diseased, gave us all ringworm. FML
Today, my sister found out she contracted ringworm and scabies from her best friend's rescued kittens. The entire family now has to be treated to prevent it from spreading. There are 7 people in our house and none of us have health insurance. FML
Today, I let my new cat sleep in bed with me. It was cute until she wiped a tapeworm onto my arm. FML
Today, I went to the doctor for an infection from where a cat bit me while I was sleeping. Where that cat came from and how it got into my bedroom I will never know. FML
Today, it's been about year since I had worms. They're easy to treat but I told no one because I was so embarrassed. Was my house unclean? Was my food undercooked? Cue months of paranoia. Today my parents told me that their cat had worms last year. The same cat they asked me to cat-sit for two weeks. No one told me. FML
Today, I'm feeling extremely sick and itchy. I'd bought rats as pets to help with my anxiety, and they gave me ringworm. I now have ringworm in about nine places on my body, including my face. I don’t know which one is worse, being dizzy from the medication or the itching. I’m feeling more anxious than ever. FML
Today, I found out why I had been waking up feeling like crap for the past week. I found tufts of cat fur in my pillow case, and I am allergic to cats. My little brother thought I would get so sick, and he could have my XBox. FML
Today, I found out my cat is allergic to ME. No kidding. FML
Today, I stayed the night at a friend's house for the first time. I went to get water from the kitchen when I saw a cat staring at me. I looked back and it ran off. I told my friend about it. He doesn’t have a cat. FML
Today, I learned how my cat's flea medicine works. Instead of killing the fleas, it just makes the fleas move off of the animal. The good news is my cat no longer has fleas. The bad news is, the fleas moved into my bed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

last time you help her move? that's a bit extreme don't ya think? how's about next time you just don't share a bed with a pussy afterwards?

How do you know you got it from your friends cat? You can get ringworm plenty of ways, and it would be pretty hard not to notice that on a cat anyways.

It's a skin fungus, kinda like athlete's foot. It's pretty easy to cure if you catch it quickly

k, but ring worm isn't actually a worm, it's a ringlike rash you get from being filthy... so quit blaming a cat and take a bath ya filthy freak.

it's extremely common to get ringworm from cats. it develops from all the crap under their claws. if they scratch you, even lightly, you can get it.

Maybe instead of using it as a lazy excuse not to help people move it should actually be the last time you sleep with a cat?

62 is actually correct 72. you can get ring worm from just walken barefooted and it is not actually a worm, that is a misnomer.

Actually a quick google/wikipedia search proves #62 correct. So much less effort to just spew out a quick & angry comment though, isn't it? Cats are filthy bastards - look up toxoplasmosis
