Sarcoptes scabiei: Scabies is an itchy, highly contagious skin disease caused by an infestation by the itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Direct skin-to-skin contact is the mode of transmission..thres just no way around this one. A severe and relentless itch is the predominant symptom of scabies. A contact that you had likely didn't know they had scabies and passed it along to you.
