Sarcoptes scabiei [People's Daily]



This parasite burrows into the skin and causes scabies. It is spread through skin contact. The disease will bring itchy skin rashes when the impregnated female tunnels into the stratum corneum of the skin and deposits her eggs in the burrow. Main symptoms include itchy skin, pain and pus.
