"Ringworm spores" refer to microscopic particles that carry the fungus causing ringworm. These spores are dormant and can survive in the environment, waiting to infect a host, such as a human or an animal. Full definition
It's a type of fungus that's found in the environment, and most animals (and people) have immune systems that prevent ringworm spores from causing problems. (thesprucepets.com)
Only concentrated bleach, cancer - causing chemicals, and enilconazole (toxic to cats) have been shown to effectively kill ringworm spores, and none of those options work well in your home. (thesprucepets.com)
Because ringworm spores can live for longer than a year in bedding, dishes, and other things that an infected animal has been in contact with, Pointer recommends throwing away these items. (everydayhealth.com)
