Well it is possible I guess. I got scabies from a massage at an upscale place in Chatham NJ. After my wife finally realizes I did’nt cheat on her to get this, we track it back to a massage person that also worked at an old person’s home and had come from there right before giving me a massage. Scabies is one of those really nasty things, but the itching it gives you is out of this world. My wife was also pregnant, but at least they did’nt make her use the lotion. You can find great information about scabies at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasites/scabies/factsht_scabies.htm and information about the Permethrin Lotions at http://www.medicinenet.com/permethrin-topical_cream/article.htm. Didn’t take too long after the lotion to go away and after waiting a year I finally got another massage, but I always ask the massage lady if she works with older people at a home before getting a massage.
