Scabies is a skin disorder that you get from dirt, mostly people that don't wash much and people that live on the streets get it. You know if you have scabies when they first start appearing on your arms. You mostly catch scabies by kissing, hugging and huddling. People that have scabies are afraid of what people will think so they cover their body as much as they can. The worst case of scabies is what children usually get between the age of 11 and 16. If you know anyone with scabies make sure you do not have physical contact with them, for example: kissing, hugging, huddling, an skin contact. Some people that have the worst case of scabies died from it, because they didn't regularly go to their doctor.
