A member asked:
I work in ems and was exposed to scabies while removing a body. limited contact to gloves and boot sole. changed unif/shower. am i at risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low risk: Unless the body had crusted scabies you are at limited risk if only contact was gloves and boots. Crusted or norweigian scabies is much more contagious and would run a much higher risk of spread.
