sabies only bite when the target is not moving. At night for example is when people get infected. yes the scabs come and go and i would get check immentanty. sabies are not fun to have and require a 24 hour evacuation of your house and you need to get this special lotion that you have to keep reapplieing for six hours to kill the sabies off your skin. You can get this lotion from your doctor or dermatoligist.

As you're getting rid of your scabies, you'll want to make sure they don't spread to other people. The doctor will probably treat everyone else in the house with the scabies medicine, just in case. To kill all other mites, your parent will use hot, soapy water to wash all clothing, towels, or bedsheets used by anyone who has scabies. Then the laundry should be dried on high heat.

Your parent can also place other personal items (like stuffed animals or pillows) in airtight plastic bags for 2 weeks and vacuum the house, just to be on the safe side. After vacuuming, the vacuum cleaner bag should be thrown away or the vacuum canister should be cleaned.

With these simple steps, you can stop scabies!

If you had scabies, those spots would itch like mad at night.
