A coworker has scabbies. 2 questions is it contagious and what if they do not treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk: You are not at risk for scabies, which is not transmitted by non-intimate contact, such as sharing an office, shaking hands, etc. As long as you don't share clothing or a bed and are not sex partners, you needn't worry.
