Answers:
i tried to look it up!. It seems that scabies only affects humans, so that is where they normally live!. They don't even live in your pets (pets get a different kind of scabies, different mite, that is called mange)!.



How did I get scabies!?

By direct, prolonged, skin-to-skin contact with a person already infested with scabies!. Contact generally must be prolonged (a quick handshake or hug will usually not spread infestation)!. Infestation is easily spread to sexual partners and household members!. Infestation may also occur by sharing clothing, towels, and bedding!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
