You've probably heard of scabies, but do you know what it is? And how you can prevent it?

Scabies is a skin condition caused by mites. These tiny bugs burrow under your skin and lay eggs, which then hatch and reproduce, causing itching and inflammation. It's most common in children and the elderly, but anyone can get it.

The first sign of scabies is often intense itching—especially at night. You might develop pimple-like bumps or small blisters, or see little streaks under your skin or tiny holes in the surface where the mites have dug in. If you think you have scabies, you should see a doctor who will confirm the diagnosis with a visual inspection or skin scraping.

Scabies is very contagious, so once it's been confirmed that one person has scabies, everyone who lives with them should be treated at the same time. The doctor will prescribe a medicine that kills the mites and their eggs.

You'll need to wash all your bedding, clothes, towels, and stuffed toys in hot water (above 122 degrees Fahrenheit) and dry them on high heat to kill all the mites. If something can't be washed or dried this way—like shoes or a mattress—
