Hi, my 4 month old daughter was just diagnosed with ringworm on her arm. Her parents are extremely clean, however have house trained rabbits. Could she have gotten it from the rabbits? She doesn't go to daycare nor a babysitters. My daughter is very cautious of who holds her and where she visits.
So where and how could she have gotten this.?
Thank You
