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.
Actually scabies, is very contagious through skin contact, and once treatment has started you are no longer contagious after 24-72 hours of starting the treatment. I see these cases on monthly basis, as long as you are being treated you should be fine after 72 hours.
