I believe it can live in the soil too or you can get it from indirect contact. Cats are also big carriers. We used to raise show sheep and ringworm was a common pain in the rear. We would get it from being in infected show pens. It's a pain, but not the end of the world. Once you treat it and stay on top of it Pnut will be fine. Good luck.
