Should i close my home elder daycare because of the scabies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Identify and treat: Scabies is caused by a parasite (mite) that easily spreads from person to person as well as from garments, clothes, towels, etc to persons. Treatment with prescription medicated cream generally solves the problem, along with thorough washing and cleaning of garments, towels, carpets, bedding, etc. With hot water. You may need to temporarily shut down while doing this until everything is cleaned.
