[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 283756, member: 1963"] Scabies in humans are caused by infection with a mite very similar to that which causes "red mange" in pet dogs. In fact, humans can actually catch "red mange" from dogs and vice versa (the other mange in dogs: demodectic mange is caused by the demodex mite which lives harmlessly on its preferred host...us humans. Scabies has nothing to do with cleanliness. Clearing it up requires treatment with special shampoos and lotions (I think Ivermectin is preferred these days. Used to be they used sulfur/lime for treatment). Along with treatment of skin and scalp; bedding, carpets, and furniture need to be treated. [/QUOTE]
