We Got Scabies!
Lynnette: "Destin, I love ya man, but not THIS much!"
Believe it or not, Destin (who had scabies -- aka mites -- when we found him), passed them onto Lynnette... then onto Jersey!
At one point, the three of them were each receiving different phases of the treatment -- over the course of 2 long months.
Definition: The mite known as SCABIES, SARCOPTIC MITES or SARCOPTIC MANGE are highly communicable little bugs that actually dig tiny tunnels into the skin where they cause intense itching, inflammation and hair loss.
The microscopic mite that causes scabies can barely be seen by the human eye. A tiny, eight-legged creature with a round body, the mite burrows within the skin. Within several weeks the patient develops an allergic reaction. This results in severe itching, often intense enough to keep sufferers awake all night. The rash and itch are much more widespread than the location of the mites.
