Description of the disease
Accurate information about the epidemiological picture of scabies today does not exist. This disease was the most intense during the war, when scabies hit to thirty percent of the population. There are theories that stals about the wave-like nature of the disease, but such opinions are strongly criticized, because there are no accurate confirmations.
Seasonality is one of the indicators for this disease. That is, scabies meet most often in autumn and winter season. This is due to the active fecundity of ticks from September to December, because the cooler temperature contributes to the survival of more than the ever hatched.
If a person has become infected with scabies, he will notice this not immediately, since the incubation period of the disease ranges from 4-6 weeks. During this time, an infected person can feel itching on a body in certain places, but at night, when the tick is most active due to the cool and wet environment. Due to those «Walking» a parasite to a person is difficult to sleep, sleep becomes sensitive and as a result it can lead to nervous disorders. Many people think that scabies appears due to low human hygiene, but it is not at all. Water and soap for the Chesocci Tick is not a threat, so the number of parasites does not decrease with daily soul or bath.
Symptoms scabies
Scabies can have both epidemic (diseases of many people) and endemic (single person's disease). Very often, scabies can be picked up in organized groups, such as barracks, boarding schools, prisons, hostels, and so on. In institutions where people are together just a few hours a day (for example, schools, kindergartens, labor collectives) scabies do not represent any threat.
As a rule, in most countries scabies are sick children. This is due to the lack of immunity to the causative agent of this disease. If children are in contact with sick scabies, the risk of infection with a tick exists in 99 percent of 100. But in Russia there are more frequent teenagers and take on 25 percent of the country's incidence. In the second place of morbidity there are children of school age, on the third - pre-school, and the fourth place is occupied by mature people. Very often, scabies are found in such an age group as students and less often among schoolchildren and children visiting kindergartens. This is due to the fact that children in different age categories, anti-face immunity develop in different ways, as well as they have completely different sexual activity. In addition, students most of the time spend together than schoolchildren or preschoolers.
Children's symptoms of scabies are always the same: it first appears itching, significantly increasing in the evening, and then a rash appears that, when combing can form a gun. Such a rash appears as a result of the vital activity of a garlic tick, which throughout the night makes moves, in the end of which eggs eggs. If you do not know how scabies looks like and doubt the symptoms of the disease, you can see the photo on the Internet and compare them with your rashes. But it is better, of course, contact a specialist for timely definition and treatment of the disease.
If scabies appears in children in the first half of life, it looks like a gloomy, because it is accompanied by a red rash. Localized rash and basically appears on face, back and buttocks. Not everyone knows how it looks like scabies, so you should not immediately take it for various dermatoses and engage in self-medication. There are cases when scabies in children look like a sharp field, while itching occurs not only on places affected by ticks, but also on remote areas of the skin.
Diagnostics
Very often, but not in a hundred percent of cases, scabies in adults are accompanied by skin itch. But if it is present, it is more felt in the evening. This is due to the fact that the tick female begins to dig «Shoes», one centimeter. The speed with which «working» The tick is 0.5-5 millimeters per day. The tick is not able to make the effect of the environment, and for penetration into the skin of its victim, it takes a period of time for half an hour. During this time, a number of factors affect the parasite, mainly the temperature, as a result of which the tick female dies. Therefore, if you do not detect this parasitic disease on time, you can only imagine how many eggs tick will be able to postpone in a few nights, and therefore, the symptoms will be very unpleasant, and the treatment will delay for a longer period.
If a person has scabies appeared, then its first signs will be rash, accompanied by easy redness.

If this kind of rash is clearly pronounced, it does not mean at all that under the skin of the patient there is a large number of parasites. It is simply due to the fact that a person aggravated an allergic reaction to the livelihoods of scales.
In pregnancy, scabies negatively affects the well-being of a woman. Because in such a state she needs a strong healthy dream, rest and tranquility, and skin itch does not give the opportunity to relax a young mother, as a result of which she does not restore their forces as needed. The fetus at this time does not threaten anything, but during childbirth, the child can get sick from the mother scabies. And usually in such cases, the babies in the baby are taken for the urchinite and, accordingly, the treatment of the disease goes to another channel. In addition, with untimely treatment of scabies in small children, can lead to the development of purulent infection, the treatment of which requires a long time and receiving medication, which may well affect the health of the kid.

In this case, the moves will be visible on the body, because they will have a kind of dark brown stripes. Healthy code will have a light brown color. If during laboratory studies, tick moves will be visible, then this is a confirmation that it is scabies that need to be carried out immediately.
There are cases that symptoms of scabies resemble other diseases, and as a result of this, self-medication man extends the life of ticks and contributes to the formation of new adult individuals.
