Scabies is bad news. It's not life threatening, but it is serious in that it is very hard to get rid of, and extremely contagious. The itch is something that will keep you up nights, scratching your skin to the point of making it bleed. Not all the medications available work on everyone, and many of them are very rough on the system. Making sure the scabies mite is eradicated from your home is tedious, expensive and labor intensive. Your washing machine and dryer will be running night and day. I wouldn't wish scabies on my worse enemy. I ended up with them after a stay in a motel and went through hell to get rid of them. It was a nightmare.

But pro-illegal immigration advocates are more concerned about the well-being of the illegals - that is, do they have a comfortable place to sleep? Are they getting enough nutritious food and water? Are they receiving free healthcare?

Another story about scabies...

"Ronald Zermeno, health and safety director for the National Border Control Council union, said the agent told him that he observed several people with open sores while screening them in preparation to be released to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Scabies is caused by a mite that burrows into skin and lays eggs, causing an intense itching and rash, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

Not the VA clinics! It is almost impossible to get an appointment the way things are. Gosh, maybe they are already using the staff and that is why they are always "short" on medical personnel? Of course, pregnant, those little golden nuggets assuring government benefits for the children and then, surely you wouldn't be cold-hearted and uncaring enough to deport the mommas?

It's all just part and parcel of turning the USA into a low rent third world nation.
I also think they transporting in diseases/viruses whatever that will effect our pets. When you have 10 to 15 people living in a residence met for 4 and maybe no running water on top of that, a lot of income coming in being sent to Mexico and, let's face it, this is the way they live so it isn't a big deal to them. I am SO glad that when we moved here that I didn't have children in school! House is going on the market and wish we were leaving the country!

Scabies in humans is caused by the same mite that causes mange in cats and dogs.

Scabies is people mange.

I think all this has finally got to me. This is very serious, but it struck me as very funny. I wish I could rep you again.

Actually no. They have a substantial problem on their southern border driven by land owners who prefer foreign workers to the locals.

Works just like in Texas...

Silliness. All the Repubs have to do is change a few laws. Nothing to it.
