How long is scabies contagious for?   Scabies are usually contagious about 40 days before you know you have them. They die within about 10 hours of being treated and are then no longer contagious. They don'tâ¦ like to live on fabric and if they can't find a human they will die off on clothes in about 4 days.
The incubation period prior to symptoms formerly was considered to be as little as 3 days to 6 weeks, but prolonged latency periods of 7 months or more are now acknowledged. Moreover, asymptomatic scabies-infested people are not uncommon and can be considered to be carriers [ 1 ]. Similar to the human response to other insects such as fleas, yellow jackets, and mosquitoes, there is a wide range of clinical responses to an infestation with scabies.
