To go on holiday with scabies?

The first time I have ever voted, I cannot comprehend how someone could think this is in any way reasonable.
I really do with people would stop thinking only about what is convenient for them, less entitlement all round wouldn't go amiss.

This is a reverse, right?

Surely nobody is this selfish.

I don't have the words.

It would be grossly grossly unreasonable to do this.
You dont just come into contact with bedding

You could easily send multiple families home with this - you surely know this...

Its disappointing but I'd explain the situation / claim insurance and postpone the holiday

How does one be rid of scabies I wonder? I find myself thinking I would take lots of soft furnishings to the tip, then camp in a relatives field for a week, strip off and burn the tent and clothes, outdoor shower, then head into their house to wear new clothes!

Treatment is often not effective immediately, so you are contagious. Please please do not do this

Check terms and conditions of the park. They can refuse you or send you away if they suspect infectious illlness

Contact directly and you may get a full refund

Your going to walk around the holiday park with scabies rash!!! Never mind the accommodation. Boke

You're going to go anyway - you just wanted people to agree with you, which thankfully hasnt happened.
Not that it will make any difference.

There are laws around deliberate spreading of disease, such as were seen with HIV, Covid etc. This could potentially fall under the same umbrella if you do not notify the holiday park in order to allow them to ensure proper cleansing afterwards and protection of the cleaner, and if you tell them, I doubt they will let you stay. It may be that scabies isn’t covered by the law, but would you really want to risk it? Quite apart from it being an absolutely appalling thing to do, but clearly you are only thinking about yourself, so consider whether you would be legally liable for anything?

If you're leaving the car at home how are you planning to get there?

Lovely, then the next family can go on their much anticipated holiday and return with scabies, if you’re really effective super-spreaders and use any of the park facilities you could send multiple families home with it. But you would have enjoyed yourself and gotten your home clean so why care about anyone else!

Tell us where you're going? So we can avoid it.

Oh this makes me feel super ill to think about. Do people really think like this? Shudder shudder shudder. Ick.

It's not just about bedding though is it, it would furnishings, carpet, everything you touched. And anyway, bedding isn't dry cleaned. This would be such a dick move OP. You've put a lot of people on this thread off ever going on holiday again so thanks for that.

The mattress and sofas won't be changed or washed at the holiday accomodation. Just keep it contained to your own home until it's all gone. Put sofa covered in the garden for 3 days if you need to, don't spread it around.

Bedding isn’t dry cleaned and anyway what about the soft furnishings etc?

Also how are you going to protect the cleaners who will handle the bedding? 🤮

Just, NO!

come back to a quarantined home

Unfortunately the next people in the holiday home dont have that luxury...

No thought to the holiday home youre going to be inhabiting whilst you're infection is rife?

Sorry, WHAT?!

You can’t guarantee it will be cleaned on a hot wash. Plus the soft furnishings won’t be cleaned. Poor cleaner who catches scabies off your sheets too.

It's not just the bedding thou carpets rugs sofas anything soft furnishings please don't go on holiday !
This makes me wanna stay home for the rest of my life 😔😔😔😔

I don’t think it’s fair in anyway as much as I sympathise with what sounds a terrible situation

i understand that technically 12-24 (forgive me, I forget the exact rules) after starting treatment you aren’t passing them on from you, but unless you are washing every item of clothing before you leave (and spending no time in the clean clothes in your home before leaving) to then go to a holiday let - isn’t fair. You don’t mention shoes - would you be taking foot ware you haven’t washed? If so, you’ll be tracking them with you.

the chances of you passing it on to lots and lots of different families/round the entire park has to be high surely? The park aren’t going to reasonably clean to the standard needed to stop scabies. Even if they were cleaning that much, the poor person cleaning could pick them up in the process of cleaning

i presume you wouldn’t be mentioning it to the park to give them chance to manage the risk?

What on earth are you thinking?

What about the people who use the holiday facilities after you? What about everyone who ever uses that bedding again??

Eew, disgusting.

Who on earth has voted that @melonhen is not BU?
