I SEE MANY LETTERS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT SCABBIES. I WORKED WITH A GIRL THAT GOT THEM FROM HER ROOMMATE. THESE ARE VERY CONTAGIOUS!! (WORST THAN HEAD LICE) THESE ARE ACTUALLY BODY LICE. IT IS A PARASITE LIVING UNDER YOUR SKIN (YUK) YOU MUST GET A PRESCRIPTION FROM A DR FOR KWELL LOTION TO GET RID OF THEM. YOU ALSO HAVE TO CLEAN ALL YOUR BED SHEETS,TOWELS CLOTHES ANYTHING THAT HAS COME IN CONTACT WITH THE AREA YOU HAVE THEM ON OR THEY WILL SPREAD TO OTHER PEOPLE. THEY LOOK LIKE LITTLE RED BUMPS UNDER YOUR SKIN AND ARE VERY ITCHY. THE GIRL I WORKED WITH WAS ASKED NOT TO COME BACK TO WORK UNTIL THEY WERE GONE. I WORKED WITH HER AND WAS PETRIFIED THAT I WAS GONING TO GET IT AND BRING THEM BACK TO MY WHOLE FAMILY. LUCKILY I DID NOT. I WORK IN A NURSING HOME AND ONCE IN A WHILE THEY WILL ADMIT SOMEONE THAT HAS IT AND THEY HAVE TO PUT ANYONE THAT WAS WITH THAT PATIENT OR IN THE SAME ROOM ON THE MEDICINE. GOOD LUCK!
