Scabies is highly contagious, and they can make anyone's skin crawl. They are microscopic creatures with eight legs that make themselves at home underneath the first layer of the skin, which where they lay their eggs. Newly hatches mites can get out of the skin and move over the body to find a new home in different body parts. They’re highly contagious, and they cause unbearable itching in anyone unfortunate enough to become a host. These mites do not always cause noticeable scabs on the body, but they commonly do just that in individuals who have compromised immune systems. When the mites grow in number and burrow in the same place, they cause the skin in that area to swell and crust over.
