I am a thirty five year old adult that caught head lice from hugging my niece's, they have very long hair and when I hug them there hair would touch mine. It has been very hard to get rid of since these particular one's seem to have a very high tolerance to the pesticide shampoo I have been using. I have used the treatment three times now and have spent well over a hundred dollars disinfecting furniture cars seats etc, and now seven days after my last treatment I should have no new eggs so I am following up with a tea tree conditioner and shower cap to suffocate any new surviving active lice. This has been a terrible experience for I have also had to treat my three year.
No, hugging someone does not break your fast.
It is normal to be nervous about hugging someone. This will depend on the person that you are hugging. This might change from time to time and person to person.
A dog is wanting someone to look at him.
No, you can't get scabies from an infection. You can get an infection called scabies from a very small species of mite (tiny insects that bore into the skin). They are very easily spread as they don't require direct contact with someone who has them. You can catch scabies by touching a door knob after someone with scabies has touched it.
No
By hugging you mean embracing? It would require someone to be conscious to embrace or at least aware of it.
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!
I would say it depended on who you were hugging, but generally no. I believe it would be awkward.
Scabies is highly contagious! I would not recommend such contact unless you want someone else to get it too. If it is you who have it make sure you start the treatment cream as soon as you can, wash your sheets, towels, etc. If you don't know what scabies is think of it this way....it is basically lice under your skin. would you want to give someone with lice a massage?

No. Bed bugs and scabies are two total different things. You can get scabies by close skin contact from someone that has scabies. Scabies burrow under your skin and lay their eggs while bed bugs stay and hide in your bed and suck your blood at night.
Type your answer here... it makes them feel as if they are hugging someone
