Can a human get ich

Humans cannot get ich, which is a disease primarily affecting fish, caused by the protozoan parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis. This parasite thrives in aquatic environments and specifically targets the skin and gills of fish. While humans can experience skin irritation from contact with infected fish or contaminated water, they do not contract ich in the same way that fish do. Therefore, ich is not a concern for human health.
