Today, I was woken up at 2 in the morning by my wife frantically saying something about her having scabies, and that I had to take her to the ER. It turned out to be eczema. FML

Today, a friend who visited me a week ago with "allergy rashes" told me that it's actually scabies, and she hopes I didn't catch it from her. It takes 2-6 weeks for the symptoms to show and I can't use the medication for it anyway because I'm pregnant. FML

Today, for the first time in my life, I have lice. The dog we rescued infested our house. No amount of showering has made me feel clean, and my bald husband just doesn't understand why I'm so bothered. FML

Horrible little things
Today, after three visits from exterminators and another from a steam cleaner, I still have bedbugs. FML

Today, I finally saw a dermatologist due to my unusually severe acne. Now I know I actually have a rare disorder that makes me allergic to my own acne. FML

Today, my OCD manager sprayed my hands with chemicals because I'd touched the bin while throwing away a piece of paper. My hands are now covered in itchy, unattractive rashes. FML

Don't let 'em bite
Today, I found out that my recurring acne is actually bedbug bites. I have wasted about a hundred dollars on acne cream. FML

Today, I found out that my anxiety disorder has escalated to where I now scratch and pick at my face while asleep. Now I get to sleep with oven mitts taped to my hands. FML

Today, I discovered I have bed bugs. I have nowhere else to sleep and I won't be able to afford a new mattress for at least a year. I'd better get used to these giant welts. FML

Today, I discovered that my bed has a flea infestation. I discovered it after sleeping naked in it for about an hour. FML

Because good hygiene can’t prevent getting scabies.

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

you can get that from stress. if you had chicken pox as a kid the scabies virus is already in you. it just takes excessive stress to trigger it.

You may be thinking of shingles, which is possible to get if you had chicken pox. They are both caused by the herpes zoster virus. Scabies is an infestation of mites, not a virus, as other posters have commented.

What do you mean even though. Do you think that keeps you safe from catching something like scabies?

Having scabies has nothing to do with being neat and clean. You can literally get them from standing next to someone at the grocery store.
