How long will sarcoptic mange stay on a human?
Ever hear of the "Seven Year Itch"? That's another term for Sarcoptic Mange in humans. Like pets, humans have a particular variety of mites that can cause advanced " Sarcoptic mange". This is totally separate variety from the ones that cause "mange" in dogs and cats; however, if the variety of mange mite that affects dogs and cats gets on a human it can cause a nasty red welt just like a mosquito bite. Several of these bites can be rather troublesome. Since these varieties are not well adapted to humans, they do not produce the extensive tunnels and cause the advanced lesions and scabs over the skin surface. They just burrow in a short distance and die. This causes inflammation and the resulting welt.
Is there more then one type of dog mange?
One of the major types is Demodetic Mange which is caused by a mite that many animals naturally have in their hair. This kind can be inherited and can cause hair loss.

Can a human pass Sarcoptic mange to another dog?
There are 2 types of mange mites that infect dogs. There is the demodex mange mite, which normally attacks dogs that are down in their immune system for some reason such as bad food, starving, disease, any stress. It is not passed from one dog to another. Then there is the Sarcoptic mange mite (often called the red mite) and it is very contagious from one dog to another & also to humans. You need to take your dog in to be checked out by your Veterinarian who will do skin scrapings to see if your dog has mange mites & if so, what type they are. Get it treated by your Veterinarian. Humans can also get the sarcoptic mange mite too. We all carry to some extent the Demodex mange mite, but our normal immune system keeps it under control. Do a skin scraping from the skin beneath your lower eyelids and check it under a powerful microscope, you might be surprised.
Can another human give a dog mange bye touching a dog with mange?
Yes. Mange is contagious. Get those dogs to a veterinarian ASAP!AnswerIt depends on if it is demodectic or sarcoptic mange. "Red mange" has been used to describe both. Demodectic mange is a mite that all dogs have-- they receive it from their mother shortly after birth. Sometimes the populations of this mite grow out of control due to immune issues, large amounts of stress, or adolescence. Sarcoptic mange is contagious to both humans and other dogs, but is easier of the two to treat.ANSWER:Demodectic mange is not contagious all dogs carry this mange. But the reason a dog will have an issue with the mange getting out of control is due to another underlying issue, such as yeast. Vets will treat the mange with ivermectin, prednisone and antibiotics when really all you need to do is change your dogs diet. Go to www.milehighbullmastiffs and there is a link to a book that will tell you how to cure this and how to keep your pet as healthy as possible for the rest of it's life.
