How easy is it to catch scabies, could you catch them by cleaning an apartment where the occupant had scabies?


I clean to pay for my college degree course, and to my horror I found scabies lotion and anti itching pills. I had removed armfulls of dirty clothing, bedding and towels from this persons room, (I believe they vacated the apartment a month before) does anyone know how long the scabies mite lives without a host, and if you can catch it like that. ahhhhhhhh.

its a concern...you can catch it like that...
they live about a month... :(

they cant live without a host for more than a few days...

:/ yikes. you can definitely catch like that. my best suggestion is to go see a doctor.. and see what they say.. or if yo don't want to.. make sure you take a lot of baths/ showers. and if you start itching definitely go see a doctor!
