Scabies
« on: November 20, 2017, 07:16:29 pm »
Had not heard that term until I watched the final Pirates of the Caribbean last night. I actually had to look it up!  Last week I was down South, on the beach, and got all bit up by something and thought it was done. Unfortunately I noticed new bites over the last few days and last night's timely movie viewing has me thinking that I may be a scabies victim. I made an appointment to see my Doctor on Wednesday because apparently, untreated, the little burrowing mites do not go away. Googling the subject let me know that there are no approved over the counter solutions to these pests. I did read about some people have had luck in their battles by sitting in a sauna (warmer than one hundred and twenty degrees) which is what I did tonight in addition to soaking in a chlorinated hot tub.

I thought that was some kind of std. I remember hearing that word in grade school. And kids saying that other kids had it.
