Ringworm's actually a fungal infection, not worms

I have....

Been bitten by:
All sorts of dogs, on the hands and on the head (dog picked me up by the head as a three-year-old), a wild-caught adult male collared lizard, a garter snake, quite a lot of earless lizards, fence lizards and whiptails, a prairie rattlesnake, a horse, my younger brother, cats, ferrets, budgies, hamsters, gerbils, leopard geckos, fat-tailed geckos, corn snakes, a Mexican black kingsnake, an African house snake, a radiated ratsnake, a Colombian rainbow boa (and that was a feeding bite), an Argentine black and white tegu, marmosets, macaws, various parrots but particularly African greys and bottlenose dolphins.

I have also fallen off a horse and hurt my knees fairly badly, been knocked over by goats, had a curious jackdaw try to find out how my eyeball tasted and had my nostrils offended by a windy cat.

I had a skunk bite a lump out my leg. That was funny trying to explain that to the doctor in A and E made even worse by the fact that I work there.

Bitten by a Shire when I was a kid, was gfather's beast and have hated all horses, ponies etc since.
Kicked by Aunties horse's regular, she had a stud and did the show jumping, cross country stuff - hate horses lol.
Head butted by the goats everytime I collected the eggs.
Chased and bitten, wing slapped by the geese when feeding - that stings
Head butted by a Tamworth sow with newborn piglets - I just didn't know she'd had them till she butted me
Only dog to bite was a Springer with a brain tumor that needed to go to vets - I drew the short straw!
Parrots by the bucket full, bitten, wing clipped, clawed worst was a Molluccan cockatoo aged about 45 decided I should stroke him not feed him when he turned his head upside down- split my lip right thru with lower mandabil - only 1 side too, then upper bill went thru my wisdom tooth and split it and up into my face - tooks wks of dental and maxiofacial surgery to put that back together.

Reptiles been bitten by bearded adult male looked like I'd tried to cut my thumb off lol. Royals, corns, 1 common boa, never by my hognose thankfully AND got bitten once by a feckin locust, needless to say that one became dinner!

Think the Molluccan was the worst

Well I've been around horses since I was little so the usual:
Bites, falls, tramples, barged/squashed, stood on. Only actual resulting injuries except general ouchiness and bruises was cracked collar bone (I went over the jump, the pony didn't), soft tissue damage (pony went over the jump and i didn't) and once my big toe nail fell off after being stood on.

Stung by wasp
Stung by jellyfish
Bitten by little BCI (it hurt! I'm a LOT more careful now he's big!)
Bitten by a dog
Headbutted by a calf (not really an injury, it was a game and I started it but it was a bit sore when she got bigger!)
