Scabies is an itchy skin condition caused by the microscopic mite, Sarcoptes scabei. It is common all around the world, and can affect any one. Scabies spreads quickly in places such as hospitals, child-care centers, and nursing homes. This occurs because of crowded conditions where there is often skin-to-skin contact between people. Scabies can easily be transferred by household members. Sharing bedding, towels, and clothes can usually spread scabies. This can occur more easily when the infested person has crusted scabies, a severe form of scabies caused by delayed treatment of the infestation, mite-filled wounds covered by scabs. Scabies cannot be acquired by a pet because they get a different mite infection called "mange." Therefore, Scabies is a highly contagious and intensely itchy infestation that can be prevented and treated.

Family is what you make of it. It is who you are close to, who you have a connection to, even if you are not blood related. Family is people who you trust, people you can tell personal things to, or cry on their shoulder. I think everyone has an honorary family member(s). They are people who are always with you or someone you know very well.
