Scabies - including symptoms, treatment and prevention Scabies is an infestation of the skin caused by the scabies mite Sarcoptes scabiei (see image). The mite is very tiny, 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm long, and cannot easily be seen without magnification. It occurs worldwide and in all races and social classes. HOW DO PEOPLE GET SCABIES? The mite is transmitted by close skin-to-skin contact. The mite burrows into the skin, where it feeds and lays eggs. The mite only lives in the upper layers of the skin; it does not go into the bloodstream or other body organs. After a few weeks, the patient develops an allergic reaction causing the very itchy scabies.
