A member asked:
My husband has scabies. how long is the incubation period and at what point at you contagious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As long as 6 weeks: It can be as long as six weeks before symptoms appear, but a much shorter time is usual. Any time you have contact with someone who harbors the mite, you can catch it. Treatment for close contacts of affected persons is recommended.
