Scabies, or the human itch mite, is transferred by physical contact. The female mite lays her eggs on the skin of a human, causing irritation. The inflammation is exacerbated when the mother begins burying her eggs under the skin, causing intense itching. Other symptoms include soreness and pus-filled nodules.
