Care to elaborate?

sure It requires direct, extended skin-to-skin contact (or sharing unwashed bedding, clothes, or towels). Takes about three weeks before symptoms. Causes extreme itching. I had it on my back, arms, legs...diagnosed by physician. Treated by permethrin. Since resolved. Just saying the timeline is correct. Its not an STD but more of a hygiene issue. Perhaps the bedding or towels were previously used and had the scabies mites from another client. Thats my hypothesis.

what location would this have been at? would be of interest to the provider so that they can make sure the rooms have a going over.

Whoah! Thanks for sharing. Sorry, I didn’t take your previous post as literal. Appreciate the heads up.

Scabies are microscopic

Scabies are microscopic

i understand what you are saying but a clean environment, a regime of constant switching out of linens and towels etc goes a long way to prevention.
