Rinse and Repeat: Scabies Are Not an Indicator of Poor Hygiene

The press has been buzzing a lot recently about swine flu, bed bugs and even the resurgence of syphilis, but the one thing I didn’t see coming was the recent scabies scare at the Heeb office. A loveable but scruffy intern failed to mention until half way through the day that he was afflicted by the tiny burrowing skin parasites leaving us scrubbing, scratching and reapplying hand sanitizer.

But like all the neurotic Jews that I work with (yes, I am the lone Goy), I couldn’t help but lay in bed all night and wonder if I had done enough to disinfect my exposed areas.

A post on nowpublic.com attempts to tackle the issue of hand sanitizer versus hand washing, with the conclusion that alcohol-based hand sanitizers cannot replace warm water and soap, but are more effective than wimpy hand washing. Obviously I recommend doing both in rapid succession when you find out your intern has been rubbing your back with scabies hands.

What are your scabies prevention methods/systems?

What do you think?
