So? Scabies is very common. All the hippie children had it in California when I lived there...somebody needs to bathe more often!

I’ve never see anyone with it. The point is I see a trend with all the sickness coming into the country.

It actually is one of the three most common skin disorders among children. It’s a mite and is fairly easily treated.

What was the point of the post? Scabies is probably diagnosed many times a day. Meanwhile, we have Ebola and the people refusing to observe quarantine...

Just Horeseshit.

I know they don’t teach much real history or anything that is not politically convenient in our screwls these days so I’ll excuse some ignorance.

Do you kiddies know one of the many reasons why immigrants were so reviled / feared near the turn of the century in the great migration from Europe and why they were quarantined at Ellis Island and other points of entry? Disease. Disease people living here did not have and disease people living here had little or no resistance to.

Obama’s kiddies and illegals bring the same types of disease here across our porous border every single day. They do not belong here and they do not belong with the general population.

Amongst people who don’t practice personal hygiene it certainly is. We consider washing the bedsheets and our clothes to be as normal as vacuuming the carpets. Some people never vacuum or do laundry let alone bathe daily.

Thanks. Makes sense.

I caught scabies from my dog, he was an outside dog and he chased and caught possums regularly. I took him to the vet for something else. i didn’t know what scabies was until I heard that one of the vet techs caught it from my dog. I had already gotten rid of mine by washing it with alcohol several times a day. That is some itchy stuff!

So if a person with scabies gets Ebola, does the scabies puke and crap and all that? Enquiring minds wish to know.
