What is the probability of catching scabies if someone else in the family has it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good chance: Scabies is actually a tiny insect. It can spread, especially in laundry like clothes and bedding. It can be in carpeting and rugs. You will need to wash everything in hot water, there is some sort of a chemical you can get from the drugstore to add to the wash. Good luck for this itchy situation.
