Help me, scabies question!?


i have scabies, i have no idea where they came from. i make no skin to skin contact with anyone, and i share no clothes with anyone. i got them a couple months ago, i was dating a girl, that had no signs or symptoms of scabies. is there a way i could of gotten them from her, even though she never knew she had them?

An infested person can spread scabies before symptoms appear. It commonly affects several family members at the same time. So she could have had them at the time and not the symptoms yet, or it could have been from anyone. It is extremely easy to catch scabies, such as trying on clothes in a department store, locker rooms, using an infected towel, etc, and so forth.

What is scabies?
Scabies is a very itchy skin condition caused by tiny mites that burrow into the outer layers of the skin. The most common form of scabies is called papular scabies.

How is scabies spread?
Scabies mites typically spread by close contact with an infested person. The mites may also spread from sharing towels, bed sheets, and other personal belongings.

A scabies infestation can affect people of all ages and from all income and social levels. Getting scabies does not mean that you have poor personal hygiene.

Scabies is easier to get than you think. You can catch it from sitting in a chair that an infected person sat in. Fortunately, it's easily treated. Just make sure to wash everything (your bedding, clothes, etc.) thoroughly and use your Rx lotion (I'm assuming you went to the dr to dx this, as it'd be really tough for you to see scabies without a microscope).

OH... and make sure those you live with do the same!

Stop stressing about HOW just get rid of them--

Scabies is highly contagious, so really you could have gotten it anywhere.
