Today, my sister found out she contracted ringworm and scabies from her best friend's rescued kittens. The entire family now has to be treated to prevent it from spreading. There are 7 people in our house and none of us have health insurance. FML

You don't need medical insurance to treat scabies or ringworm. You need Kwellada lotion for the scabies and an anti-fungal for the ringworm, all available over-the-counter. A pharmacist will know which is best. Send a non-infected close friend or family member out of courtesy and respect for the pharmacist and his/her other patients.

I just completed a vet tech internship and I learned you can use lice shampoo as a body wash to treat this.

And yes scabies is contracted from animals. It's called sarcoptic mange and is very highly contagious. It's one of the very few diseases that animals carry that is contracted by humans. And in humans it is refered to as scabies.

Ahh i hated Scapies. Goodluck. A trick for keeping them off is wash and dry all that can and take showers before you get in any bed or couch
