I myself have wondered if they are transmissible via toilet seats as well. If they can survive on clothing, then why not a toilet seat?

Scabies is a contagious (catching) disorder of the skin caused by very small, wingless insects or mites called the Human Itch mite or Scabies itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei!

ANY personal contact can spread scabies. They are also sometimes acquired by contact with infested sheets or clothing.
