To go on holiday with scabies?

We have scabies and have been prescribed some cream to kill the scabies.
We have to treat everyone in the house at the same time and also have to clean all the sofas and bedding and towels and wash everything on a hot wash and hoover.
The mites die after 3 days of no human contact so I’m thinking rather than risk missing anything, we clean best we can and then we book into a holiday park, leaving the house and car for a week, doing the cream treatment while we are there and then come back to a quarantined home might be the most affective way.
We would be treated so not contagious while we were there.

If it's the Scabies from No. 38, to be honest, they can be a bit dull.

Seriously?

Surely nobody is that damn selfish? Do you have absolutely no regard at all for other people?

I wouldn't want to stay in accommodation previously used by someone with scabies.

Unreasonable and gross
