No. Pets become infested with a different kind of scabies mite. If your pet is infested with scabies, (also called mange) and they have close contact with you, the mite can get under your skin and cause itching and skin irritation. (references) | ||
If services should be allocated on the basis of potential benefit, then those ADRD clients who have the least interaction with their environment should receive only minimal care, freeing resources for those who can appreciate the care more. Such a step would mean pursuing a policy that no longer devotes heavy nursing care to people in a vegetative state, for example, but instead looks for less intensive ways to mange these people humanely.

Human Rights | Mexico | They stated that conditions such as mange, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis are known to the authorities, who fail to take any action to treat and segregate sick inmates. (references) |
