My Cousin has Scabies and Now I May Have Them Too

My Cousin has Scabies and Now I May Have Them Too

I’m not sure how easy it is to get scabies, but my cousin and her kid have them and have been hanging around my aunt’s house where I am staying while on vacation.

I guess in the worst case scenario I will have to get some scabies treatment once the eggs hatch, that is if they end up on my body.

I think it is close skin to skin contact which transfers them from person to person, so maybe I won’t get them at all. But everyone seems to be really paranoid about them and they are all freaking out. Our whole home air purifier is running but I don’t think it really does much when it comes to scabies on your body. I haven’t been itching yet but they say that it can take up to two months before you even know if you have them. I am more worried about staying warm and looking for a new heating unit for the house than I am about scabies and air quality in this place. It is really cold out right now and I think it is going to get even colder tonight, so staying warm is the first thing on my agenda. Scabies is treatable and easy to get rid of so I am not too worried about them being a problem. My cousin is a local HVAC worker and she got them doing some duct cleaning in someone’s home a week ago and has been a nervous wreck ever since. I don’t know, they don’t seem to scare me that much.
