Answers
HEY,
Ring worm:
a skin infection caused by several types of fungi found in the soil and on the skin of humans and pets. Kids can get ringworm from touching infected animals such as dogs and cats. Ringworm of the skin, or tinea corporis, usually is a dry, scaly round area with a raised red bumpy border and a clear centre. When the scalp is affected, the area may be flaky, red, or swollen. Often there are bald patches. Ringworm is treated with anti-fungal medicines including shampoo, cream, or oral medicine.
Rabies:
a serious illness caused by a virus that enters the body through a bite or wound contaminated by the saliva from an infected animal. Animals that may carry the rabies virus include dogs, cats, raccoons, bats, skunks, and foxes.
Campylobacter Infection:
can be spread by household pets carrying Campylobacter jejuni bacteria, which cause diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and fever in people. The bacteria may be in the intestinal tract of infected dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and certain farm animals. A person can become infected through contact with contaminated water, faeces, under-cooked meat, or unpasteurised milk.
Hope that helps:)
