    Sarcoptes scabiei
    or
    "There once was a lady from Natchez whose clothing was always in patches.
    When comment arose on the state of her clothes, she replied, "When I itches, I scratches" (ba-da-bum)

    Sarcoptes scabiei: A real life situation noticed by a Prof of surgery, dramatised the situation of a winter when the infestant pounded with hyperinfection due to warmth in the woolen srugs or blankets one uses in season, a conducive source of hatching larva out from nits! *Scabies* treat the 👪

    I itched, I itched, I itched, from my interdigital spaces
    To the back of the hands little pustules grew into pruritus patches.
    Wasn’t only me the victim, the entire room of fellow inmates
    Everyone was infested with Sarcoptes,
    From the criminal inmates to the oppressed reactionary intellect
    The scabies rendered justice without neglect.
    Then one day as Diamond said:” We travel light today, not without a star
    Home is a new shining place, the eye of the storm,
    Freedom rains warm”…

    I know what it is with no “maybes”
    Not demodex, pthirus, or rabies
    Once its eggs start to hatch
    You'll do nothing but scratch
    And your doctor will diagnose scabies.
