You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Raccoon roundworm. The CDC indicate: "People become infected when they accidentally ingest infective eggs in soil, water, or on objects that have been contaminated with raccoon feces.

When humans ingest these eggs, they hatch into larvae in the person's intestine and travel throughout the body, affecting the organs and muscles."

You can find more info here: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasites/baylisascaris/factsht_baylisascaris.htm#how_infected

Do mean Ringworm since you posted under fungal infections? Ringworm is a fungal infection while raccoon roundworm is a parasite.

"Ringworm occurs when a particular type of fungus grows and multiplies anywhere on your skin, scalp, or nails.

Ringworm is contagious. It can be passed from one person to the next by direct skin-to-skin contact or by contact with contaminated items such as combs, unwashed clothing, and shower or pool surfaces. You can also catch ringworm from pets that carry the fungus. Cats are common carriers."

The symptoms of ringworm include:

"Itchy, red, raised, scaly patches that may blister and ooze. The patches often have sharply-defined edges. They are often redder around the outside with normal skin tone in the center. This may create the appearance of a ring. Your skin may also appear unusually dark or light."

Did you mean "Racoon Roundworm"? If so, here is your info:

Baylisascaris Infection
(Bay-liss-ass-kuh-ris)
Raccoon Roundworm Infection

How do humans become infected?

People become infected when they accidentally ingest infective eggs in soil, water, or on objects that have been contaminated with raccoon feces.

When humans ingest these eggs, they hatch into larvae in the person's intestine and travel throughout the body, affecting the organs and muscles.
