8 Contagious Diseases You Had No Idea About
Scabies
G. Thomas Ruiz, a gynecologist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, California notes that scabies can easily spread from person-to-person through contact or by touching a contaminated surface and shared linens and garments.
The parasite that stands behind this condition usually lives behind the kneecaps, in the crook of the elbow, and between the fingers. Fortunately, the treatment is easy to follow: a scabies-fighting body lotion—as well as washing everything the infected person has worn.
