I have 4 cats that tested positive for ringworm, but 2 0f them do not have lesions. Do they still send out spores?
This is a whole new ballgame for me.I have had cats and fostered for many years, and this came from one of my fosters.

I don't know how they were tested for ringworm or if you have medicated them.

Diatomaceous Earth @ health food stores Food Grade only takes care of it easy to treat, repeat.

If an animal has it Yes it is contagious. (fungal infection)

I am curious. i have never heard of DE for ringworm. How does it work? I know in insects it penetrates the shell and causes death by dehydration.

Clays work on a positive negative removing negative bacteria from the body. Works instantly

I moved once, later one of my cat's showed symptoms of ringworm  :(

Applied DE topically with immediate results.
