scabies - caught at a hospitalMike and i were over at a friends house. We had just dropped by on the way back home to kick tires. When his wife comes out to the garage to say that she is going to the market. I get up to say hello and we talk for a bit. Then she says "don't come any closer i have scabies!"
She got them at the hospital while having a minor procedure done. One of the nurses was working at a nursing home as well. The nurse caught it there and ended up infecting several people at the hospital.

Yeah! So, whats the polite way to ask, not to close a friend, for a scraping sample? I am not even sure there is a polite way to do this. If i was more committed, i would just give her a big hug.

How 'bout saying, "So buddy, care to sample out what you've got there  , I just so happen to be a member of a forum that shares the name with your infection  "
Or not...

I said i might hug her just to get a culture and the bf freaked. No worries though. It is his friends wife that has it. So if he hangs out with him..........
