Is there a Scabies plague … ?

[WishIMite]

In the last month I’ve heard of several friends’ dc at uni who have scabies. Completely different parts of the country. Then yesterday my dd who is at college said it’s going around her classes!!

Apparently there’s a shortage of treatments available.

Is it just me noticing this?! I’m CREEPED OUT!!!

Not sure about scabies but I know of a few colleagues who have had bad eye infections very recently. Also an awful lot of bad coughs every time I’m out, likely another covid wave building up.

Yes - there is currently one at my DD's uni (SW area)

DS (Uni student). Told me last night his house thinks they have it , apparently a few friends had an outbreak.

I’ve ordered him cream from an online pharmacy.

getting everything in house washed at a high temperature will be an issue with 7 of them in the house.

Yes I’m worried about that too… students not know for their clean living

My contacts are actually all south west too - or think they’ve got it in the south west and taken it north

Mine is Midlands.
