Scabies is very contagious, making it difficult to prevent. However, there are some ways that we can help to prevent the spread of the mites. This includes avoiding skin to skin contact with other people. Wearing loose clothing can help to prevent an infestation even when coming into contact with an infected person.
It is often thought that scabies is a result of poor hygiene, but this is simply not the case. The mites have no preference when it comes to hygiene. However, it is important to thoroughly clean your house after an infestation to help prevent an infestation occurring again.
