Possibly: they often hide out in folds of the body as in between the fingers, and are very itchy. i would recommend permetherin cream or lotion from your PCP. also make sure to wash or change sheets at least every week, take daily showers, and change to clean washed pair clothes daily, as they can spread or reinnoculate.
