Best Answer

Scabies is a contagious skin disease caused by a species of microscopic mite (sarcoptes scabiei) that burrows under the host's skin, hatching it's young and literally making your skin feel like it's crawling. It's not the bug itself causing the infection and itching, it's their excrement.
