Must not be as clean as you think.

A good job scabies are mites and not germs.

Because good hygiene can’t prevent getting scabies.

I got it in 7th grade right before learning it was also an std. So when talking about the symptoms and treatments I knew all the answers. Think I’m a pretty clean person but cause of my sensitive skin and eczema they think I was more susceptible to scabies.

It’s a mite, not a rash, an actual bug. You can’t really be more susceptible to getting a bug.

Usually only spread from contact with infected people or animals (aka sarcoptic mange). Or from sharing clothing or other fabric.

So do you have any scratchy person around you? Or kids?
Just burn it, burn them all!

Too much hygiene = getting sick more often/more likely...

A phobia is an irrational fear. The good news here is your fear of microorganisms is perfectly justified. Yay!

Now, don’t start foaming at the mouth and go around trying to bite people!

Op scabies (sarcoptes scabiei aka sarcoptic mange) is a mite, a tiny parasitic bug. Saying hygiene affects getting scabies is like saying you showered so you can’t get a mosquito bite, or your hair is clean so you can’t get lice.

It’s not a true bug, but an arachnid! Sweet dreams!

Yup it’s a mite living in your skin, not a germ. No need to worry!

being a neat freak has nothing to do with it.
