Can people contract ringworm from rabbits?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only from wild rabbits

  4. Only from domestic rabbits

The correct answer is: Yes

Ringworm is a contagious fungal infection that can affect the skin, hair, and nails of both humans and animals. It is possible for people to contract ringworm from rabbits, as well as other animals such as cats and dogs. This is because the fungus that causes ringworm can be found on the skin of infected animals, and can easily spread to humans through direct contact. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they limit the potential sources of ringworm to either not being able to contract it from rabbits at all (option B), only being able to contract it from wild rabbits (option C), or only being able to contract it from domestic rabbits (option D). However, ringworm can potentially be contracted from any type of rabbit, whether it is wild or domestic. This is why option A is the correct answer, as it is the most comprehensive and accurate choice.
