I had scabies, maybe 30 years ago. I had not been in a sexual relationship with anyone but my mate, and FORTUNATELY my mate never got them from me. My doctor told me they are usually picked up in public places and asked me if I had been anywhere unusual where I might have picked them up. The only place I could think of was a fitness center in the U.S. He said that was a good possibility with many people coming through using the equipment, lockers, showers, etc. I used a medicated soap to get rid of them. BTW, they typically do not infect your hairy areas as lice do. They get under your skin and often start on your lower legs, ankles, waist, and move out from there. The itching is freakin' awful. I feel for those people. I've never gone back to an exercise facility since, and have never gotten scabies since.
