Scabies?

I think the reason so many doctors misdiagnosed it in my case is because I think I told them I had treated for scabies already

 

Actually, in fact, being treated for scabies in the past has no bearing on whether or not one might be infested with scabies.

 

And, the second time around, after being infested for the second time, then one is liable to become symptomatic far more quickly, even within four or five days.

 

The first infestation might require over a month to become symptomatic.

 

Still, as we know, there are, at any given time, about 400 million cases of infestation around the world.

 

This is not a paltry sum....but...there...is....only one...

Marilyn Monroe.

 

 

SO THEN...

 

a.  World population now: 8.2 Billion

b.  Scabies-infected humans: 0.40 Billion.

 

I must be one of the Elite!

Why might I have contracted scabies?

 

 

As I said, if I had not left The Main Line, outside Philly, then the likelihood of scabies, for me, would have been miniscule.

 

But here, where I am, the risk is HUGELY increased.

 

So....

 

Come to the land of smiles, or come to East Asia, and enjoy scabies, should be the slogan, maybe.

 

Yet, these very small mites are a VERY small price to pay for coming to Asia....
