I dont know but I have never been exposed to anything or anybody that I am aware of that has scabies. My "bites" if that is infact what they are - are very very tiny almost microscopic red pin prick marks. They dont itch, bleed nor are they sore. I just have a crawling sensation of ants or insects moving on my skin. My doctor says scabies would involve the webs between my fingers, wrists and waistband with much more prominent sores. My animals did have Cheyletiella mites which do infact bite humans but is usually self-limiting once the animals have been treated. The strange thing Cheyletiella would again leave more prominent marks on the skin. I am beginning to wonder if my skin crawling could be candida but that doesnt explain the red pin prick marks. I am completely baffled. Thanks
