my cat got ringworm from a foster dog. I'm neurotic (I actually suffer greatly from Generalized Anxiety Disorder). I am so afraid of being one of those cases where it just keeps coming back. we are treating the two cats and our dog with lime sulfur and the one who has lesions is getting miconazole topically. I have 3 kids and so far no one has gotten it. I have cleaned with bleach, vacuumed, used bleach in my steam cleaning machine, thrown out some furniture that he rubs against and a bunch of clutter that I didn't want to have to clean. the affected cat goes outside. He is just miserable in the house but at night he stays in the laundry room with the cat that doesn't go outside and doesn't have symptoms. I have packed up all of our books and will open them in two years when I can be sure all the spores are dead. i cleaned as much as I could of the laundry room (we have a case of 'Mt. Laundry'). my son's room is right off of the laundry room and it has wood floors. i'm not as confident about his room being completely clean since he did it while I was working on the restof the house. he's 10 and may have cut corners. The cats were in both the laundry room and his room while we were remodeling. I'm hoping there aren't sporesstill in there. I'm letting the dog roam the house. she shows no signs and is kenneled during the day and night. I'm just hoping I'm doing enough. I damp mop the kitchen daily. And I'm vacuuming where the pets are every day. any suggestions?we were exposed to it for 7 weeks (2 weeks while the dog was here, 2 weeks till I sawit on the cat, and 3 weeks until the test came back positive) so is there a fairly good chance we won't catch since we haven't yet?
