Can scabies live on a cellphone?

Scabies mites primarily live on human skin, as they need a host to survive. While they can survive for a short time on surfaces, including cellphones, they do not thrive there and typically die within a few days without skin contact. Therefore, while it's theoretically possible for scabies mites to be present on a cellphone, the risk of transmission from this surface is very low. Regular cleaning of frequently touched surfaces can help minimize any risk.
