Medical Aid for Palestinians has reported over 4,100 preventable skin infections in Gaza since July. These infections include scabies, chickenpox, bullous impetigo, and Non-bullous impetigo.

MAP attributes the surge in these infectious diseases to a combination of high temperatures, Gaza's damaged sewage system, and the accumulation of solid waste over several months due to Israeli aggression.

if you're the kind of person who thinks/says that certain species of insect/arthropod/"bug" need to be exterminated on the basis of their potential to spread disease, then i guess you should also advocate for extermination of cats (carriers and spreaders of rabies, toxoplasmosis, bartonella, etc), dogs (rabies, campylobacter, ringworm, etc), most livestock such as horses and cattle (rabies, encephalomyelitis, trichinella, etc), most rodents such as squirrels and prairie dogs (rabies, bubonic plague, hantavirus, leptospirosis, etc), most fish (mycobacterium, vibrio, salmonella, etc), most birds (salmonella, bird flu, psittacosis, etc), most reptiles (salmonella, serratia, e. coli, etc), and, wait for it...

humans (notorious carriers and spreaders of the common cold, influenza, covid, strep, herpes, measles, hepatitis, hiv, bubonic plague, ebola, pox, malaria, gonorrhea, chlamydia, whooping cough, syphilis, hpv, scabies, lice, rsv, staph and mrsa, ringworm, norovirus, etc).

humans are one of the biggest spreaders of disease, if not the biggest. you're probably more likely to receive an infection from another human than from an arthropod. does that mean we need to exterminate all humans? execute everyone who carries a transmissible disease? no? why not? you're obviously more concerned about the spread of disease than the effects of eradicating entire species, so what's the problem? well, if we can't kill people to stop diseases, then maybe we should target the diseases themselves instead of the carriers. we already know that we're capable of doing that; polio was more or less eradicated not by mass-killing everyone who carried it, but by developing a vaccine.

disease prevention starts with education. knowing how to avoid being infected is the first step. the next most important thing is humanitarian action and aid in places where transmissible diseases are common. access to medical care is vital, and we need to be working towards making care easily accessible worldwide. researching the diseases themselves is key, so that we can figure out the most effective ways to treat, cure, and protect against infections.

intentionally driving mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas to extinction is not the solution to the diseases they carry. they're not "evil" or "monsters" or "bastard villains" for carrying them. there is no active malice in the existence of these creatures or these diseases. nature is morally neutral.

hi, thank you for your response! I thought contacting the RSPCA would be the best shot but wanted to get some opinions on it first

here’s some photos of the cat’s red patches:

and when petting his head it felt very scabby, just generally in bad shape. he’s such a sweet cat though, and was very patient and happy to just lay

here’s the baby in full

I’ll try to contact the RSPCA as soon as possible to get him the hell he deserves. thank you again!

Thank you so much for the update + pics! I have to admit, i expected worse, but this is still not good. Apart from mange, the coat isn't that well kept. The cat probably won't clean itself due to dermal pain. I should have mentioned this in the previous post, but given that mange, or scabies, is caused by a parasitic mite, it's in your best interest to prevent your other pets from getting infected. If you're keeping this cat somewhere on your property while you wait for RSPCA's response, take the necessary precautions like preparing a room for it and giving your pets regular checks for eggs or individuals under the hairs of their coat. They should be fairly easy to tell apart from dander.

🚨 A number of prisoners recently released from "Ramon Prison" informed the family of the prisoner and engineer Montaser Mustafa Al-Shannar, from Nablus, who has been under administrative detention for 25 months, that he is suffering from a severe skin disease, scabies, which he developed in May 2024 while incarcerated in Naqab Prison.

His health condition is considered one of the most severe among the prisoners, as scabies has spread across his entire body, leading to boils, which has turned his life inside the prison into a double nightmare, to the point where he can no longer sleep. He can only enter the bathroom to relieve himself with the help of two fellow prisoners.

Scabies has spread extensively (https://t.me/RNN_Prisoners/2093) among prisoners in several prisons, particularly in “Nafha,” “Ramon,” “Megiddo” (including children), and the Naqab, as a result of the occupation’s criminal retaliatory measures.

The prison administration deliberately transfers prisoners with contagious diseases from one section to another, exacerbating the number of infections, prevents access to cleaning materials, reduced water supply, and limited shower time for prisoners.

This policy of deliberate medical negligence imposed in zionist prisons affects hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by the temporary zionist entity and has escalated drastically and catastrophically since October 7, leading to the martyrdom of several prisoners.

The occupation's prison administration in Ramon and Nafha prisons informed the lawyers organizing visits for prisoners that all scheduled visits had been canceled indefinitely, citing the imposition of a quarantine on all prisoner sections due to a large outbreak of scabies among the prisoners, according to the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club. The disease has spread extensively among prisoners in several prisons, particularly in “Nafha,” “Ramon,” “Megiddo,” and the Naqab, as a result of the retaliatory measures, and as part of the systematic and escalating policies of torture imposed by the prison administration which represent one aspect of the ongoing war of genocide against our people in Gaza. The prison administration has effectively turned the disease into a tool of torture by deliberately committing medical crimes against the prisoners, depriving them of treatment, and failing to take necessary steps to prevent the disease from spreading. The Commission and the Club confirmed that several prisoners, on rare occasions, were allowed visits long after contracting the disease, with their bodies showing severe deformities due to the disease, blood, and sores from intense itching. The Commission and the Club pointed out that the prison administration's policies, including the lack of sufficient cleaning materials, those necessary for personal hygiene, reduced water supply, limited shower time for prisoners, and the confiscation of prisoners’ clothing. Most prisoners today rely on a single set of clothes, and some have been wearing the same clothes for extended periods, being forced to wash and wear them while still wet. Additionally, the severe overcrowding in prisoner sections, with the daily escalation of arrests, compounded the situation. Poor ventilation and the isolation of prisoners in cells without sunlight further contributed to the spread of diseases. The prison administration’s most egregious crime is the deliberate transfer of prisoners with contagious diseases from one section to another, exacerbating the number of infections. Among the infected are child prisoners, especially in the children's section of “Megiddo” prison. In this context, the Commission and the Club reiterated their call for the international human rights system to overcome the ongoing state of international inaction in the face of this war of genocide and to take clear actions to hold the “israeli” occupation accountable and stop the comprehensive aggression against our people, including the crimes committed against the prisoners and detainees in the “israeli” occupation’s prisons and camps.

Hamas: Telegram

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The widespread outbreak of infectious diseases among Palestinian prisoners in the occupation's prisons, accompanied by the decision of the prison administration in "Ramon" and "Nafha" prisons to prevent lawyers from visiting the prisoners, is yet another testament to the catastrophic conditions in which the prisoners live. This comes as part of the ongoing series of abuses against them, depriving them of even the most basic human rights guaranteed by all laws and conventions. The prisoners are subjected to torture, denial of visits, deprivation of food, water, and sleep, deliberate medical neglect, isolation, and suppression—leading to the martyrdom of several prisoners. This clearly indicates that the occupation government is pursuing a policy of deliberate killing against them, a policy that cannot be tolerated, and the occupation must bear the consequences of its crimes. We call upon international organizations and human rights groups to fulfill their responsibilities regarding the suffering of our prisoners in the occupation's prisons, especially in light of the provisions of the Geneva Convention regarding prisoners of war. We urge our Palestinian people to escalate the movement in support of the prisoners. We have no option but confrontation to force the occupation to stop its ongoing crimes and violations against our heroic prisoners.

(tangentially related to the Amy post) I bet this has been discussed to death but when I read Worm for the first time I kept getting distracted by all the things Taylor could have done with her power if it wasn't Worm. Perfect bedbug removal. Perfect plant hybridization with no accidental cross pollination. Breeding endangered insects. The implications of that much spider silk on demand. Search and rescue. Eliminate malaria. OR give people malaria on purpose. Devastate crops. Sneak allergens into people's houses. Did I mention she could majorly fuck up an area's food supply either by preventing crops from being pollinated or just by having her bugs destroy them? If she can do heartworm she can do trichinosis. Can she do scabies? Maybe not bc she can't detect skin mites but she can do Lyme. Tsetse. Lice. Termites. Silverfish. Do you know how positive I was that she was going to do something with silverfish and how relieved/disappointed I was when she didn't. What the hell. Bugs hold so much power in this world.

this is a fun observation because: 1. the text alludes to this occasionally. she gets rid of the lice & cockroach problem in jail, her territory is pest-free, and she removes the mosquitos & biting flies on the earth gimel refugee camp shortly after gold morning starts. it's neat how she can use her bugs on the broader scale you've mentioned, and occasionally approaches doing so, but never does in full because powers (and the plot of worm) are fundamentally about conflict.

2. it's the exemplification of the thesis of taylor's character: insects are so small, yet as a collective whole, they hold so much power in this world. and we are all so very small, in the end. everyone is only one bug under the heel of the cosmos. but all together, a swarm of us can topple gods. her power is that principle in miniature.

Lady C Tea YouTube 10/24/23 (a few nuggets paraphrased by me) by u/daisybeach23

Lady C Tea YouTube 10/24/23 (a few nuggets paraphrased by me) Greetings from Castle Goring!I am going to start by addressing something that was brought to my attention. I will not say by whom. Apparently, there is a popular YouTuber named Neil Sean who has made two recent videos that there may be an examination by Meghan on examining why her relationship with her father fell apart. It is very interesting. Omid Scabies has a book coming out. I have said all along Meghan’s greatest mistake has been how she has treated her father. I have watched these two videos even though I do not normally watch other videos. I am going to issue Meghan Markle a warning. If she has any sense, she will take it. I know what went wrong in Meghan Markle’s relationship with her father. I have spoken directly with the Markle’s. I was also fed information by someone close to Harry. Read the last 4-5 pages of my book, The Real Meghan and Harry. I will not go into great detail because this subject is so unsavory, I feel like I am swimming in feces and barracudas. Meghan better be careful what needles she pulls out as she embroiders her new version of the truth. Because there are several recorded versions of her original versions of the truth. The only person who could possible back her up is Doria. This subject is so disgusting and evil. This is truly evil to seek out to destroy someone’s reputation. I know things Meghan does not. Things done at the highest levels to prevent. Meghan if you want to destroy your reputation, GO RIGHT AHEAD! Meghan if you think you are doing to ruin your father’s reputation, look in the mirror because it will be your reputation! Meghan you will not get away with anything. There are people with more power than you who will not let a frowsy, untalented, uppity, hustling jerk get away with this. Neil Sean is not out of left field with this story and I am not criticizing him. If he has sources, he should use them. Oh, and there is talk that Meghan is all of the sudden “remembering” things and is going to write a book. Well, I can only hope it is more accurate than Harry’s book. Sniff Sniff.Lady C says Prince Philip would be spinning in his grave because poor people are paying green taxes and the wealthy travel the world attending climate change and eco-conferences in private jets. The new elite are grossly flaunting their wealth in the faces of the poor.Lady C, are Harry and Meghan idiots? They are trying to shut people up but their fans are rude and bully others online. Yes Meghan and Harry are idiots. Their support has been waning on both sides of the Atlantic. But in the beginning, they were popular. Meghan is knowledgeable on how to boost herself online. She used bots to create false popularity online. This created an illusion of her popularity. This has all been unmasked. They are not as popular as they believe they are.Lady C, surely it must be dawning on Harry that being Meghan’s puppet is worse than being the Spare in the family? Harry has enjoyed the benefits of being with Meghan. He unleashed his moany and malevolent side. He enjoyed trashing his family. You have to be a certain brand of gutless to smear your family. Meghan allowed Harry to release his true side. Harry seemed rather comfortable feeding his family to the wolves.Toodles Sinners!PS -OMG! post link: https://ift.tt/US26Cbj author: daisybeach23 submitted: October 24, 2023 at 09:44PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

“For centuries people have been trying to take care of their skin, making use of many different products, recipes and practices. A new study focusing on the works of the famous medieval doctor Trotula de Ruggiero reveals a skincare routine that is an “extraordinary combination of tradition and modernity.”

The study, led by a team from the University of Salerno, examines two works by Trotula de Ruggiero, also known as Trota of Salerno, who was part of the Medical School of Salerno around the beginning of the 12th century. Trotula’s works have long been considered to be key texts for understanding women’s medicine in the Middle Ages. But they also tell much about cosmetic remedies, including skin treatments, hair dyes, teeth whitening, eye and lip makeup, and body care procedures.

The researchers first note that Trotula’s work detailed the use of many traditional medicines. While many historians have been skeptical that these items could be effective, newer research in pharmacology has revealed their positive health effects. This is also true for medicines involved in skin and beauty care.

Over 40 different herbs, minerals, and animal derivatives are mentioned in Trotula’s work and also are used in modern skincare products. For example, fava beans have a medieval use as a facial cleanser and are now used in products to protect against abscesses, rashes and warts.

Vinegar could be found in Trotula’s recipes for hair care and colouring, scabies, face, lip and gum care; today is used for scalp psoriasis, hair care and as a face exfoliator. Meanwhile, egg yolk found use in the medieval text for lightening and strengthening hair, while today is considered useful for nourishing damaged hair.

The similarities between Trotula’s skincare remedies and modern ones go beyond just the ingredients but also in their ways of application. The researchers write:

Trotula’s beauty tips for the face are surprisingly current and resemble the modern “skincare routine,” as they involve a pre-treatment, Consisting of thorough washing together with what we can define a modern peeling and a simple exfoliating mask before the application of specific functional treatments. The evolution of concepts, practices, ingredients, and methodologies in use in the aesthetic field from the Middle Ages to today, allow us to underline similarities and differences.

Indeed, the specific recipes for facial treatment confirm the study and interest in aesthetic problems and “cosmetic” products by the Salerno Medical School. The original cosmetic science of Trotula shares with modern cosmetology, even in the case of the treatments proposed for the face, the goal of seeking to improve one’s appearance, making us perceive the existence of a canon of beauty of the time, but also to preserve skin health or cure various skin diseases, with a focus on prevention, a key and modern concept of Salerno practical medicine.

This need is met with a wide application of herbs, minerals, and animal fats, used as raw materials to formulate cosmetics that we would currently define as “functional”.

For example, one facial cleaning that Trotula describes begins with a pre-treat wash that is based on tartar oil that provides a softening, lightening, and smoothing action. This tartar oil is not just a simple item, either, for it is made by soaking the tartar in vinegar using iron containers, a process which takes three to four days to complete.

There is even more complexity to the treatment: “Trotula recommends applying tartar oil at night for its greasiness, for at least 7 consecutive nights, in relation to the type of skin; a particularly dry skin may require prolonged treatment for up to 15 days. During the day, in the period of night treatment with tartar oil, the skin should be washed with water and starch, which acts as a sprinkling and adsorbent/lightening powder.

To prepare the starch, fresh barley grains are left to rot in three parts of water and ground in a mortar. The resulting slurry is crushed, and then, the water is left to evaporate in the sun in order to obtain a dry product that can be stored for subsequent applications.” Today, this combination of tartar and vinegar is still used to treat dry skin.

The study points out that knowledge of plants, animals and minerals for their cosmetic use is something that goes back to ancient times and follows a long tradition, which Trotula de Ruggiero was able to write down and detail.

The researchers conclude:

Trotula’s cosmetics and modern cosmetics seem to share a holistic vision since both don’t only look at the “product” and the “remedy” separated from the person to whom it is addressed. They have in common the attention to the balance and harmony of the individual, in the “man / woman-product-environment” interaction.

Sustainable solutions and products, environmental protection, cost optimization with respect to performance are the drivers of cosmetology of the third millennium which, like Trotula’s cosmetology, is at the service of the person, aims to contribute to accompanying and slowing down the normal and physiological aging, wants to cooperate in well-being, using the help that comes from the plant world and the ecosystem in general.”

- Medieval skincare routines were remarkably similar to modern versions, study finds

Hey hey, I have PCOS and as a result have extreme inflammatory reactions to things. I got scabies from campus a couple months back and was breaking out a month after they were gone still sort of extreme reactions to things.

When you have an extreme outbreak like that you may need to use an antifungal cause your skin is open and prone to infection easier cause it's compromised. Idk if you asked your doctor about it but althetes foot spray helped me dry out my out break quickly so I could go back to cream and bandages. It's a little harsh but you do what you gotta do.

You also may need to avoid scented stuff entire and stick to things like Cetaphil and other hypoallergenics. I personally got to a point where I have to use hybaclens and castor soap to shower now. Hybaclens is a surgical wash but also helps calm down skin outbreaks by preventing further skin infections.

Just suggestions you could message your derma about.

Thank you so much!! The clusters seem to be drying out, but the nerve pain is still bad! Not sure if that’s normal.

(I also used a theragun on my back over my sweatshirt…not sure if that was ideal)

[bunnifur-spitz]

I honestly never post pictures like this. I haven't ever felt it necessary for my self esteem, I generally have a ton of that. Almost an excess at times, however...

I left prison on January 25th, at a DD and a size 8 underwear. This was my third time in prison in the last 2 years. The third time I had put my body through the ringer due to drug abuse and street walking prostitution. The first time 06/21/21(initial weight 108) Second time 05/08/22 (initial weight 112) and the Third 10/14/22 (initial weight 102).

I was in the hospital on 04/02/23 and weighed 115.

I entered a detox on 04/11/23 at 105.

It is an exhausting process to heal the scabs from scabies, then heal the pink spots left behind to try to prevent scarring. Gaining the weight back, then exercising and eating properly to take some of it off, shape it. To start being able to look at myself without crying when I'm taking a shower. To be able to stand in the mirror for longer periods of time each day. To build my smile wider one centimeter at a time. It's even more exhausting to have to do it all over again 4 times over.

This time, I also have to heal my scalp and try to help my hair grow back due to an abscess I had there (that's a long story for a later date).

It just keeps getting worse each time I begin using again. I have overdosed a total of 9 times, I have been to treatment twice, and I have been to detox 14 times.

I left a treatment facility on 05/10/23 and am now living in a sober house.

I have been clean for 33 days, which is the longest I have EVER been clean without being incarcerated. And I look DAMN GOOD.

I'm sharing this because we can't keep what we have unless we give it away.

Discover the Amazing Benefits of Lime Sulfur Medicated Shampoo for Dogs and Its Uses in Various Skin Conditions!

Taking care of your dog's skin can sometimes feel like a never-ending battle, especially when they’re dealing with stubborn issues like mange, fungal infections, or severe itching. If you’re looking for a solution that can tackle multiple problems with ease, lime sulfur medicated shampoo might be just what your furry friend needs. This potent, multipurpose treatment has been trusted by pet owners for years, and with good reason! Let's dive into the remarkable benefits of lime sulfur shampoo and how it can help your dog.

What is Lime Sulfur Medicated Shampoo?

Lime sulfur shampoo is a topical treatment containing lime (calcium hydroxide) and sulfur, known for its antifungal, antibacterial, and antiparasitic properties. It’s commonly used to treat a variety of skin conditions in pets, from cats and dogs to rabbits and horses. The unique combination of lime and sulfur helps address skin issues that regular shampoos simply can't handle.

Top Benefits of Lime Sulfur Shampoo

Effective Against Mange and Mites: Mange is a distressing condition caused by mites that burrow into the skin, leading to intense itching, hair loss, and inflammation. Lime sulfur shampoo can kill these mites and relieve the symptoms of mange, allowing your dog’s skin to heal and the fur to grow back healthy and strong.

Treats Fungal Infections: Fungal infections like ringworm can spread quickly and cause significant discomfort for your dog. The antifungal properties of lime sulfur shampoo make it a powerful weapon against these infections, helping to clear up the skin and prevent further spread.

Soothes Itchy Skin: Persistent itching can drive any dog crazy. Lime sulfur shampoo works to calm irritated skin, reducing the urge to scratch and allowing your pet to feel more comfortable. It’s particularly useful for dogs suffering from allergies, dermatitis, or other conditions that cause severe itching.

Fights Bacterial Infections: Bacterial skin infections can cause redness, swelling, and a nasty odor. The antibacterial qualities of lime sulfur shampoo help fight off these infections, promoting a healthier skin environment for your pet.

Natural and Safe: While lime sulfur shampoo is a powerful treatment, it is also safe when used as directed. Its natural ingredients make it a preferred choice for pet owners looking for an alternative to harsher chemical treatments.

Common Skin Conditions Treated with Lime Sulfur Shampoo

Demodectic Mange: This type of mange, caused by demodex mites, often leads to patchy hair loss and scaly skin. Lime sulfur shampoo can help eliminate these mites and improve your dog’s skin condition significantly.

Sarcoptic Mange: Also known as scabies, this highly contagious form of mange causes extreme itching and discomfort. Regular baths with lime sulfur shampoo can eradicate the mites and soothe your dog’s skin.

Ringworm: Contrary to its name, ringworm is a fungal infection, not a worm. It causes circular, itchy patches on the skin. Lime sulfur shampoo can kill the fungi responsible and clear up these unsightly lesions.

Hot Spots: These painful, inflamed areas of skin can be caused by excessive licking or scratching. Lime sulfur shampoo can help dry out the area and promote healing.

Seborrhea: Seborrhea causes flaky, greasy skin and dandruff. Lime sulfur’s antifungal and keratolytic properties help manage this condition by reducing excessive skin turnover and restoring balance.

How to Use Lime Sulfur Shampoo Safely

Follow the Directions: Always use lime sulfur shampoo as directed by your vet or according to the product instructions. Overuse or improper application can cause skin irritation.

Dilute Properly: Lime sulfur shampoo is usually concentrated, so it’s important to dilute it with water before applying it to your dog’s coat. This ensures it is safe and effective.

Avoid Eyes and Muzzle: Be careful to avoid your dog’s eyes, nose, and mouth when applying the shampoo. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Rinse Thoroughly: Make sure to rinse your dog thoroughly to remove any residual shampoo. Leaving it on the skin can cause irritation.

Monitor for Reactions: While lime sulfur is generally safe, some dogs may have a sensitivity to it. Monitor your pet for any signs of redness, excessive itching, or discomfort after use.

Final Thoughts

Lime sulfur medicated shampoo is a versatile solution for many of the stubborn skin conditions that can affect your dog. Its powerful combination of antifungal, antibacterial, and antiparasitic properties makes it an effective treatment for issues like mange, ringworm, and hot spots. With the right care and regular use, you can help your furry friend find relief and restore their skin to a healthy, happy state.

If your dog is dealing with persistent skin problems, lime sulfur shampoo might just be the answer you’ve been looking for. Give it a try and see the difference it can make in your pet’s skin health!

Scabies in Cats: Causes of Itching, Crusty Skin, and Hair Loss Explained

Scabies, also known as feline mange, is a distressing skin condition in cats caused by microscopic mites. This highly contagious disease leads to intense itching, crusty skin, and hair loss, making it crucial for cat owners to recognize and address it promptly. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for scabies can help ensure the well-being of your feline friend.

What Is Scabies in Cats?

Scabies in cats is primarily caused by a type of mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. These mites burrow into the cat’s skin to lay eggs, which triggers a severe allergic reaction. The presence of these mites results in symptoms like itching, irritation, and inflammation. While any cat can contract scabies, those with weakened immune systems, young kittens, or cats living in crowded conditions are more susceptible.

Symptoms of Scabies in Cats

Early recognition of scabies symptoms is key to preventing the disease from spreading and ensuring effective treatment. Common signs include:

Intense Itching: Cats with scabies experience extreme itching, leading to persistent scratching.

Crusty Skin: Affected areas, particularly around the ears, face, neck, and legs, may develop a scaly or crusty texture.

Hair Loss: Mites damage hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss, especially in the infected regions.

Redness and Inflammation: The skin becomes inflamed due to the mites burrowing, resulting in redness and swelling.

Restlessness: The constant discomfort may make the cat irritable and restless.

Scabbing or Open Sores: Excessive scratching can result in open sores or scabs, worsening the condition if left untreated.

Causes of Scabies in Cats

Scabies is caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mites, which can be transmitted in several ways:

Direct Contact with Infected Animals: Cats can contract scabies through direct contact with an infected animal. This is common in multi-pet households or among outdoor cats that interact with strays.

Contaminated Environments: Mites can survive in the environment for a short period, so cats can pick them up from bedding, toys, or other objects contaminated by an infected animal.

Weakened Immune System: Cats with compromised immune systems are more susceptible because their bodies are less capable of fighting off the infestation.

Diagnosing Scabies in Cats

If your cat shows symptoms of scabies, it’s crucial to consult a veterinarian. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and skin scrapings. The veterinarian will collect a sample from the affected area and examine it under a microscope to confirm the presence of mites.

Treatment Options for Scabies in Cats

Scabies is treatable, and early intervention is vital to prevent complications. Common treatment options include:

Medications: Vets often prescribe anti-parasitic medications like ivermectin or selamectin to kill the mites. Topical treatments, such as medicated shampoos, creams, or dips, can also effectively eradicate mites.

Antibiotics: If secondary bacterial infections have developed due to open sores or scratching, antibiotics may be necessary.

Supportive Care: Anti-inflammatory medications can help reduce itching and promote healing, offering relief to the affected cat.

Isolation: Because scabies is highly contagious, isolating the infected cat from other pets is essential to prevent the spread of mites.

Can Humans Get Scabies from Cats?

The mites that cause scabies in cats are species-specific, meaning they prefer feline hosts. However, humans can experience temporary itching if they come into direct contact with an infected cat. Fortunately, the mites typically do not survive long on human skin.

Preventing Scabies in Cats

Preventive measures can significantly reduce the risk of scabies:

Regular Vet Checkups: Routine veterinary visits can help identify potential health issues, including scabies, before they become severe.

Maintain Clean Living Spaces: Regularly cleaning your cat’s bedding, toys, and grooming tools can help eliminate the risk of mite transmission.

Limit Outdoor Exposure: Keeping your cat indoors or limiting interactions with stray or unfamiliar animals can reduce the risk of infestation.

Use Preventive Medications: Some flea control treatments also offer protection against mite infestations.

Conclusion

Scabies in cats is an uncomfortable but treatable condition. By recognizing the symptoms — such as itching, crusty skin, and hair loss — and seeking veterinary care early, you can ensure your cat receives the necessary treatment. Regular checkups, good hygiene, and preventive care are crucial to keeping your cat healthy and scabies-free. If you suspect your cat may have scabies, consult a veterinarian promptly for expert care and guidance.
