Scabies Alert Issued in New Hampshire: Are You At Risk?

Any press release that includes the sentence "crusted scabies is a more severe version of typical scabies and can be more easily passed to others than typical scabies" is a little bit unsettling.

According to the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, patients and staff at Dartmouth-Hitchcock clinics in Manchester and Catholic Medical Center may have been exposed to the non-life threatening but uncomfortable condition. Keep in mind it can take up to a couple of months for symptoms to appear, so if you've visited the following you may want to take preventative measures.

See the official release for further details on what action you should take if you suspect you're at risk.
