Scabies Fact Sheet

What are scabies?

o Scabies is an infestation of a parasite, Sarcoptes scabiei (a

mite), which burrows under the skin and lays eggs. It causes rash and

severe itching, especially at night. Frequent sites of rash are on

folds of skin between fingers, around wrists, elbows, armpits,

waistline, thighs, penis, abdomen, outer borders of feet and lower

buttocks. Children under 2 are likely to be infested on head, neck,

palms and soles of feet.

How is scabies spread?

o Close, personal contact with an infested person or through

shared bedding, towels and clothing.

How long are people with scabies contagious?

o People are contagious until they are treated.

When should people with scabies be excluded from a childcare facility?

o For 24 hours after treatment is completed.

What can parents and childcare providers do?

o Check with child's health care provider for treatment plan.

o Send home all bedding, clothing and stuffed animals of infected

person for thorough laundering.

History of Scabies:

· Scabies should be suspected in any patient, regardless of age or

socioeconomic status, who presents with severe, persistent pruritus.

· It is more common in the fall and winter months.

· The signs and symptoms tend to crescendo progressively over 2-3

weeks before compelling the patient to seek medical attention.

· Undiagnosed scabies can last for years, which is the basis for the

common term, the seven-year itch.

· The involvement of multiple family members should suggest the diagnosis.

· Nocturnal pruritus is a highly characteristic complaint associated

with scabies infestation.

· Scabies is unusual in the neonate but it has been reported.

Causes of Scabietic Infections:

· The arachnid itch mite, Sarcoptes scabiei, variety hominis, causes

human scabies.

· Animal forms of scabies exist. Canine scabies is referred to as mange.

Human infestation with animal scabies produces immediate itching,

which prevents the mite from burrowing

Physical Conditions of Scabietic Infestation:

· Primary Lesions:

o A short elevated, serpiginous (S-shaped) track in the

superficial epidermis, known as a burrow, is path gnomonic of scabies

infestation.

o Burrows or runs appear as a thin (approximately the width of a

human hair), short (perhaps 2-3 mm in length), gray brown, wavy

channel on the skin.

o Occasionally, the mite is visible to the naked eye as a small

white dot.

o A small vesicle or papule may appear at the end of the burrow or

occur independently.

o Nodular scabies may erupt on covered parts of the body (see

distribution), as a few or many lesions, characterized by a firm, red,

and 0.5 cm or larger appearance.

o Norwegian scabies presents with extensive crusting

(psoriasiform-like lesions) of the skin with thick, hyperkeratotic

scales overlying the elbows, knees, palms and soles.

o Bullous lesions may be seen in immunocompromised patients.

o Canine scabies does not exhibit the classic burrow. Instead,

papules and vesicles are the most prominent lesions surfacing on the

arms, chest, abdomen and thighs.

· Secondary Lesions:

o Ordinarily, burrows are best detected in the web spaces of the

fingers, flexor aspects of the wrists, antecubital fossa, axilla,

umbilicus, buttocks and feet.

o In women, the nipples and areola of the breasts are often

affected; while in men, red papules or nodules on the penile glands,

shaft, and scrotum are almost path gnomonic of scabies.

o Compared to adults, scabies in infants and young children tend

to be more disseminated and while the head and face are usually spared

in adults they may be affected in the very young.

o Nodular scabies presents exclusively on covered parts of the

bodies, such as the scrotum, penis, buttocks, groin, auxiliary folds

and upper back.

o Geriatric scabies demonstrates a propensity for the back, often

appearing as excoriations

Scabies (Sarcoptes scabiei)

A tiny mite has infested humans for at least 2,500 years. It is often

hard to detect and causes a fierce, itchy skin condition known as

scabies. Dermatologists estimate that more than 300 million cases of

scabies occur worldwide every year. The disease can strike anyone of

any race or age, regardless of personal hygiene. But there's good

news: with better detection methods and treatments, scabies need not

cause more than temporary distress provided you seek treatment quickly.

More Than An Itch: How Scabies Develops

Scabies skin mite is about 0.4mm, just visible to the human eye

The human eye can barely see the microscopic mite that causes scabies.

A tiny, eight-legged creature with a round body, the mite burrows

within the skin, causing an allergic reaction. This results in severe

itching, often intense enough to keep sufferers awake all night. Human

scabies is almost always caught from another person; anyone who has

come into close contact . . . it could be a child, a friend, or

another family member. Dermatologists, who treat patients with scabies

almost every day, point out that scabies is not a condition of

low-income families, neglected children or poor hygiene--no one is immune.

Attracted to warmth and odor, the female mite is drawn to a new host,

making a burrow, laying eggs and producing secretions that cause an

allergic reaction. Larvae hatch from the eggs and travel to the skin

surface, lying in shallow pockets where they will develop into adult

mites. It may be up to a month before a newly infested person will

notice the itching.

What to Look For

The earliest and most common symptom of scabies is itching,

particularly at night. An early scabies rash will show up as little

red bumps, like hives, tiny bites or pimples. In more advanced cases,

the skin may be crusty or scaly.

Scabies will usually begin in the folds and crevices of the

body--particularly between the fingers, on the elbows or wrists,

buttocks or belt line, around the nipples for women and on the penis

for men. Mites also tend to hide in, or on, the skin under rings,

bracelets or watchbands or under the nails. In children, there is

usually a more generalized itching.

Infestation may involve the entire body, including the palms, soles,

and scalp. The child may also be tired and irritable as a result of

loss of sleep from itching or scratching all night long.

Bacterial infection along with scabies may occur. In many cases,

children are treated because of infected skin lesions rather than for

the scabies itself. Although treatment of bacterial infections

sometimes provides relief, recurrence is almost certain if the scabies

infection is not treated.

Crusted or " Norwegian " Scabies

Crusted scabies is a form of the disease in which the symptoms are far

more severe than usual. Large areas of the body, hands and feet may be

scaly and crusted. These crusts hide thousands of live mites and their

eggs, making treatment difficult because medications applied directly

to the skin may not be able to penetrate the thickened skin. This type

of scabies occurs mostly among the elderly and in AIDS patients. These

cases are extremely infectious.

Diagnosis

A thorough head-to-toe examination in good lighting, with careful

attention to skin crevices, will usually be recommended and performed

at your dermatologist's office.

Scabies masquerading as contact dermatitis

Dermatologists through examination alone can diagnose many cases of

scabies. If a dermatologist has any doubts, he or she can do a simple,

painless test to diagnose scabies. The test involves applying a drop

of sterile mineral oil to the suspected lesion. The site is then

scraped with a scalpel over tightly stretched skin. The scrapings are

transferred to a microscope for examination. Finding scabies mites or

their eggs makes a diagnosis.

Who Is Most At Risk?

The scabies mite can infect the rich and poor, old and young. Scabies

is most common in those who have close physical contact with others,

particularly children, mothers of infants and elderly people in

nursing homes.

Umbilical and wastline lesions

All in the Family: Studies of families have shown that children under

two years of age are most at risk, followed by mothers and older

female siblings and then by other family members who have frequent,

close physical contact. Soldiers and male prisoners, however, are

extremely susceptible due to their living conditions.

Scabies on sole of child's foot

Among the Elderly: Scabies among resident patients of nursing homes

and extended care facilities has become a common problem.

The elderly may be more likely to become infected with scabies for

several reasons, including:

· Lowered, or weakened, immunological defenses;

· Frequent, close physical contact through the daily care routines--

dressing, bathing, etc.--provided by institutional staff;

· Delayed diagnosis of the disease because scabies can often be

mistaken for other skin conditions such as dry skin, eczema, contact

dermatitis, impetigo or a drug reaction or other conditions common in

elderly patients.

What You Can Do About Scabies

· See a dermatologist as soon as possible to begin treatment.

Remember, although you may be disturbed at the thought of parasites,

scabies is no reflection on your personal cleanliness.

· Wash clothing, bed linens and towels in hot water, and machine dry

after treatment.

· Vacuum the entire house and discard the bag, just to be on the safe

side.

What Not To Do

· Don't attempt to treat scabies with home remedies. Scrubbing with

laundry detergent or hard soaps, or applying kerosene will only make

the condition much worse.

Don't use steroids or any other creams unless prescribed by a

dermatologist.

Chiggers

Common Name

Scientific Name

Chigger

Trombicula alfreddugesi (Oudemans)

Tiny six-legged chigger larvae attack campers, picnickers, hikers,

bird watchers, berry pickers, fishermen, soldiers, and homeowners in

low, damp areas where vegetation is rank such as woodlands, berry

patches, orchards, along lakes and streams, and even in drier places

where vegetation is low such as lawns, golf courses, and parks. They

are most numerous in early summer when grass, weeds and other

vegetation are heaviest. Chiggers do not burrow into the skin, but

insert their mouthparts in a skin pore or hair follicle. Their bites

produce small, reddish welts on the skin accompanied by intense

itching. These symptoms often are the only way of learning that an

outdoor area is infested since chiggers are so small that most cannot

be seen without a magnifying glass.

What are Chiggers?

Chigger mites are about 1/20 inch long, usually bright red, have hairy

bodies, and travel rapidly. The larval stage has three pairs of legs

whereas the nymph and adult stage have four pairs of legs. There is a

marked constriction in the front part of the body in the nymph and

adult stage. Larvae are orange, yellow or light red and about 1/150 to

1/120 inch in diameter. Eggs are globular-shaped.

Chigger Facts

Adult chiggers winter over near or slightly below the soil and in

other protected places. Females become active in the spring and lay up

to 15 eggs per day in vegetation when soil temperatures are 60°F. Eggs

hatch into six-legged larvae, the only stage that attacks humans and

animals (parasitic stage). After hatching, chigger larvae climb up

onto vegetation from which they can more readily snag a passing host.

After engorgement, often requiring one to several days, larvae drop

off the host and transform into eight-legged nymphs, which mature to

the adult stage. Nymphs and adults feed on eggs of springtails,

isopods, and mosquitoes. The life cycle is about 50 to 70 days, with

adult females living up to one year and producing offspring during

this time. Multiple generations occur in warmer climates, whereas only

two to three develop each season in some northern states. Chiggers

lurk on grass stems, leaves, shrubbery, etc., usually in damp, shaded

spots near the top of different objects close to the soil. Young

chiggers attach themselves to the skin of people, domestic animals,

wild animals (including reptiles), poultry and birds. Chiggers are

attracted to folds and crevices of the body such as around the belt

line, waistline and under socks, or where the flesh is thin, tender or

wrinkled such as the ankles, in the armpits, back of the knees, in

front of the elbow, or in and around the genitals.

ChiggerChigger Bites

Chigger larvae do not burrow into the skin, nor suck blood. They

pierce the skin and inject into the host a salivary secretion that

breaks down skin cells that are ingested (tissues become liquefied and

sucked up). Also, this digestive fluid causes surrounding tissues to

harden, forming a straw-like feeding tube of hardened flesh

(stylostome) from which further, partially digested skin cells may be

sucked out. After a larva is fully fed in four days, it drops from the

host, leaving a red welt with a white, hard central area on the skin

that itches severely and may later develop into dermatitis accompanied

by eczema. Any welts, swelling, itching, or fever will usually develop

three to six hours after exposure and may continue a week or longer.

If nothing is done to relieve itching, symptoms may continue a week or

more. Scratching a bite may break the skin, resulting in secondary

infections.

Directions For Use On Chigger Bites Only

Making sure skin is dry, apply Nature's Best Enzyme Scabies Treatment

to affected area using a cotton swab. Once swab has touched affected

area, do not contaminate contents of bottle. Use a fresh swab for each

application. Do not rinse. Repeat as necessary, on affected areas, to

control itching.

To Prevent Re-Infestation

For relief of itching, apply Nature's Best ™ Enzyme Scabies Treatment.

Reapply as often as needed. (The sooner the treatment, the better the

results.) After returning from a chigger-infested area, launder the

field clothes in soapy, hot water (125°F.) for about half an hour.

Infested clothes should not be worn again until they are properly

laundered and/or exposed to hot sunshine. Unlaundered clothes or those

laundered in cool water will contain the biting chiggers to again rein

fest your skin. Scratching deep to remove stylostomes can cause

secondary infections.

Mowing of briars, weeds, and thick vegetation and close clipping of

lawns, to eliminate shade and moisture, will reduce chigger

populations, and permit sunlight and air to circulate freely. Chigger

larvae can penetrate many types of clothing, but high boots and

trousers of tightly woven fabric tucked into stockings or boots help

deter them.
