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!
My daughter went on a business trip to NY and stayed at a hotel near Times Square. She came home with scabies. Went to the hospital and got treated. Disgusting.
