Re: Scabies in Hyndburn Schools

Scabies is transmitted by close personal contact...like sleeping together...or in the same bed as someone who has the infestation....so normal contact at school should not be a problem(unless these blighters have mutated and found another way to be passed on).
The cases in these schools may be members of the same family(with several families across the borough being affected)....and eradication is simple.(hot bath and a scrub down with benzyl benzoate - paying extra attention to body cracks and crevices).
