A member asked:
I went to visit a friend and she had had scabies, she treated it with the permethrin cream.she just spot treated. i hugged her twice should i worry?

? type of hug ?: Scabies is a mite that burrows under the skin. Transfer between persons usually requires prolonged or intimate contact. I consider it a problem for wrestlers and spouses but not random hugs. If the hug involved an untreated but affected site it might be an issue. It is not easily passed like germs.
