The dog species of sarcoptic mange can TEMPORARILY infect humans. Usually the itchiness from this lasts about three weeks, or less. The mite can't live in humans, so it dies. If the dog remains in the household and remains infected it can continue to give its owners new mites, though -- so the itching can last longer because there is a constant new supply of mites. Cortisones are sometimes used to reduce the inflammation and itchiness. It is not necessary to kill the mites because the are going to die, anyway. Use a topical ointment to help with the itch.

The human species of sarcoptic mange is contagious between people and is a problem in settings like nursing homes where it can spread pretty rapidly through the resident population in some cases. It is often referred to as scabies.

If you continue to have problems with the rash it would be a good idea to have your doctor to check you.

Red mange in pugs. Is the breeder responsible for vet bills or refund if there was no contract other than registration papers signed over to me?

If your puppy came to you with Red Mange (Demodectic Mange)then of course any reputable breeder should be responsible and either pay the bills or take back the puppy. The fact that your puppy has mange which is probably hereditary (therefore the female dog should not be bred from) suggests that you probably purchased from a puppy farm or not a reputable breeder and having no contract of sale would also suggest that. In which case you really would do better to report the breeder to the authorities and cut your losses. I am not a lawyer so don't know where you stand legally but wish people would do more research on where they get their puppies from, there are many good breeders out there and a cheap puppy from a puppy farm can end up being very expensive in the long run as I am sure you are finding out.
