Do scabies have an epidemic

Scabies can occur in outbreaks, particularly in crowded or unsanitary conditions, such as nursing homes, schools, and refugee camps. While not classified as an epidemic in the same way as Infectious Diseases like influenza, localized outbreaks can lead to increased incidence in specific populations. Effective treatment and good hygiene practices can help control and prevent the spread of scabies. Public health measures are essential in managing outbreaks and reducing transmission.
