Me, my mom, and Dad have scabies.
The thing is I was staying at my best friends house and my friend was itching ALL the time. I noticed her dogs itched too. And two weeks later, I realized I was itching in the same areas. Then my dad was itching, then my mom. We were first diagnosed with bed bugs. Then it didn't go away, we went to a different doctor and then we were diagnosed with scabies. And I have two pugs, and I'm worried. Can they get it from us? I know they didn't cause it, because I was in a different state when I go it. But I'm not sure if my friend had it before the dogs, if the dogs had it and gave it to her. I really don't know and I'm finding unclear answers everywhere and I'm worried. Please Help.
Thanks.
