'Tis the Season

for ringworm. I've never had ringworm before, but I'm sure it would be gross to have it. Luckily for me, I won't have to wonder what it will be like to have it for much longer.
In the last week, I've dealt with three pets with this nasty fungal infection. Today, I actually had to deal with two cats with it. One of the reasons that I work in the animal field is so I don't have to deal with communicable diseases. Sure, there are zoonotic parasites and viruses to worry about. I even had a scare where I thought I was exposed to rabies once, but the odds of contracting an infection or sickness from animal is much lower then it would be from me getting it from a human if I worked in the human medical field.
I had the honor of shaving a cat with a horrible ringworm infection bald today. It really isn't as fun as it sounds to shave a cat. Not only was I unable to breathe by the end, since my allergies were so bad, but I also had strands of contaminated cat hair all over my face. I decided to use animal ringworm medicine all over my face when I was done, but it started to burn, so I had to wash it off right away.
About an hour later, another cat came in with ringworm. Since I'd already been exposed two other times this week, I figured, I may as well shave this one too. I'm getting really good at shaving cats, if I do say so myself. No use in having everyone come down with ringworm. I figured I would get more sympathy if I was the only one with it.
So, I wonder how bad my outbreak will be. I don't want my lesions to be on my face. Ideally, they will be in dirty places so I can say, "Do you want to see my ringworm?" and take off my clothes. That would be hot.
