When left untreated long-term, scabies may lead to a condition called Norwegian crusted scabies, in which dense, scaly patches cover large parts of your body, rendering your skin unrecognizable. In a normal scabies infestation, you may only have 10 to 15 female scabies mites inhabiting your body; up to 2 million may be noted in advanced cases of scabies. According to the University of Sydney and Westmead Hospital's Department of Medical Entomology, if you have this type of infection, you may be considered the source of a local epidemic. You'll require isolation, and health care practitioners who treat you will also need to be treated for scabies, as infestation can occur if someone simply touches your hand or bed linens. You can call 888-329-1748 to find a local treatment center

What type of pathogen causes scabies?
Scabies is not caused by a pathogen. Scabies is an infestation of the skin with the microscopic mite Sarcoptes scabei.Infestation is common, found worldwide, and affects people of all races and social classes. Scabies spreads rapidly under crowded conditions where there is frequent skin-to-skin contact between people, such as in hospitals, institutions, child-care facilities, and nursing homes. Prolonged skin-to-skin contact is required to spread scabies (handshakes will not spread it). Sharing clothes with someone who has scabies can spread it, and it can also very easily be spread to sexual partners.
Is scabies contagious?
Scabies is a skin disorder that you get from dirt, mostly people that don't wash much and people that live on the streets get it. You know if you have scabies when they first start appearing on your arms. You mostly catch scabies by kissing, hugging and huddling. People that have scabies are afraid of what people will think so they cover their body as much as they can. The worst case of scabies is what children usually get between the age of 11 and 16. If you know anyone with scabies make sure you do not have physical contact with them, for example: kissing, hugging, huddling, an skin contact. Some people that have the worst case of scabies died from it, because they didn't regularly go to their doctor. SO IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WITH SCABIES DO NOT GET INTO CONTACT WITH THEM!
