Scabies is a contagious, intensely itchy skin condition caused by a tiny, burrowing mite.
It can be treated by killing the mites and their eggs with medication that's applied from the neck down and left on for eight hours. The mites can also be killed using oral medications.
Machine washing with *hot* water can kill mites like scabies.
Dry cleaning can help decontaminate clothes and kills mites like scabies.
