What percentage of people have Scabies?
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.
