Because fungi prefer warm, moist environments, preventing ringworm involves keeping skin dry and avoiding contact with infectious material. Basic prevention measures include: * Washing hands after handling animals, soil, and plants. * Avoiding touching characteristic lesions on other people. * Wearing loose-fitting clothing. * Practicing good hygiene when participating in sports that involve physical contact with other people.
