| #4 Scabies? At the Elysée??? How strange. Shouldn't it be crabs, rather??? Can't be ticks, anyway, as blood-sucking parasites respect each others. |

| #2 scabies are not "crotch crickets". They are mites. The generally get you around the belt line ... sort of like chiggers. I got them once when I was a kid. I used to trap raccoons for hides in winter for some spending money. One had the hair all falling off of it and a few days later I thought I had poison ivy on my butt and around the belt line. But it didn't go away and the doctor said it was scabies. A bath with Kwell cleared it right up. My guess is they have a dog who brought them in from contact with an animal outside. |
