We'll continue our discussion on zoonotic issues such as sore mouth disease or Orf in sheep and goats. How you can actually get this disease from places like goat yoga and how the topic even came up in our discussion.

On the positive side, once you get ringworm your body is less likely to suffer from the disease again.
