I have dealt with scabies at a old facility that I worked with. I
believe bed bugs are everywhere arent they? On dealing with scabies we
had to strip all beds and wash all their clothing and we had to put on
that cream/lotion prescription and it had to be on them for over 8
hours and they got a shower. It was a mess. I just hate it when that
happens.
On how to prevent this from happening I have no idea.
Cause some residents who go home for a home visit and the family that
has things like this is where the residents picks it up at or the
family or someone who is employed at the facility had it and it was
brought there.
Well everyone have a wonderful day!
