What is scabies?
Scabies is a very contagious skin infestation by the scabies mites by the name Sarcoptes Scabiei. The incubation period for scabies is several weeks. This means that one can be infested by scabies and spread them before even noticing any symptoms of scabies.
Humans can only be infested with scabies by people not by animals. The human scabies mites can only survive around 5 days in absense from a host. The scabies parasites burrow under the top layers of the skin causing irritations and scabies rashes.
