What would happen if scabies were swallowed?

Answer 1

Your digestive system would treat this mite in the same way that that it treats any other food.

Additional Information:

However, there can be secondary infections, such as Staphylococcus and/or Streptococcus, in affected areas that can cause illness if ingested

Scabies is an allergic reaction of the skin, a condition marked by an itchy rash (small raised red spots). This reaction is caused by the itch mite (Sarcoptes scabiei), a microscopic skin parasite.

While it is an allergic reaction, the causal mite infestation is contagious with intimate contact, and rarely, from bedding or clothing.

If the ingestion of troublesome vectors (like disease carrying mites), bacteria, or viruses is suspected, immediately seek the advice of a physician.
