I don’t' even know where to begin. I recently went to the doctor and was diagnosed with scabies! I have been itching all over my body for FOUR MONTHS and for the life of me I couldn't figure it out. I thought I was allergic to something but as time passed and I tried everything and nothing worked I finally went to the doctor and he broke the news.
Apparently there is a scabies outbreak in DR. After consulting with some of my family friends, they too had experienced scabies having visited within the last year. If you never had scabies before it takes 4-6 weeks for the full on outbreak and you have to get medicated lotion to kill to the little suckers.
I just feel it is my duty to advise visitors. Scabies is contracted from bedding, towels and sharing clothes. Only linens that have been washed in extremely hot water can do away with them. Please be careful because I can assure you it is no fun.
Unfortunately I didn't inquire is there is a shot that you can take before visiting to prevent from getting them, If so, please inform so i can be ready for my next visit.
