Customer question:
Can scabies also occur in humans? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Dogs, cats, and other pets commonly attack mange. Although scabies is common in animals, it can also occur in humans in some cases. Scabies transmitted to humans are usually of the same species as those affecting animals, known as lice or bedbugs. Scabies can be transmitted to humans through direct contact with infected animals or their environment, such as an infected flea or bed bug bite. Although scabies usually cannot reproduce in humans, it can still cause discomfort and skin irritation.
Garium symptoms in humans may include:
- itching and discomfort in the affected areas of the skin,
- redness or rashes on the skin, often in the form of small dots or lines,
- the sensation of movement or tingling under the skin,
- the appearance of small wounds or wounds at the places of the bite
Garium treatment in humans usually involves the use of appropriate over-the-counter medications. In addition, it is vital to wash and clean the affected areas of the skin regularly and to avoid further contact with infected animals or their environment.
Prevention of garia in humans also includes regular cleaning and grooming of pets to prevent garia infection. Regularly vacuuming and cleaning the home is also essential, primarily where pets often reside. If you suspect you have scabies or if your symptoms do not improve with home treatment, consult your doctor or dermatologist for further advice and treatment. Scabies must be adequately treated to prevent further discomfort and irritation of the skin and possible infections.
