this one strikes home with me. I once thought I had scabies for close to a year. gross, gross. turns out university health center "doctors" don't really care that much about "diagnosis". I just had to switch laundry detergent.

I just read what scabies actually is and there's something called an "itch mite" that causes it...what the fuck.

Scabies is a contagious (catching) disorder of the skin caused by very small, wingless insects or mites called the Human Itch mite or Scabies itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis (Hering). The female insect burrows into the skin where she lays 1 - 3 eggs daily. A very small, hard to see, zigzag blister usually marks the trail of the insect as she lays her eggs.

Sulfur has been used (6 - 10% in lotion or cream) since Roman times as a scabicide, but you might be allergic.



The itch mite.

I don't know if I like the louse more or less than I like the mite.
